Hunting is a great challenging experience. For the last several years our clients have 100% success. Kuban (Western) Tur counts both towards the Ovis and Capra World Slams.
How to get there:
You will fly to Moscow where our crew will meet you, assist you through the customs and take to the hotel. Next morning you will fly to Mineralnye Vody (the flight takes about two hours).
Hunting season:
From August 1 to November 30
Hunting:
Expect extensive horseback riding, considerable walking and hiking. Some riding experience is a must. During the day you will explore the upper edges of the mountains, examining the hillsides and feeding areas through the field glasses. A temporary tented camp is set up with the specific goal of hunting a particular animal or area. Rams are generally located in very remote country at 9,000 feet. Once the trophy is spotted, you complete your stalk on foot. Physical condition is an important factor for the stalking part of the hunt.
Accommodation
Simple hunting houses and tented camps. Spike camps are used intensively. You should expect quite modest conditions.
Weather:
Day and night temperatures have wide amplitude due to high altitude and surrounding glaciers. Afternoon fog is a normal event. In August – mid-September daytime highs are 77-80 F, with lows of 35-40 F. In mid-September–October daytime temperatures are 50-59 F with 15-23 F at night. Snow can be expected at the tops in first decade of September.
Kuban (Western) Tur is a highly desirable trophy. Only comparatively small part of Caucasus Mountains holds the population of Kuban (Western) Tur.
