Spike camps are established if sheep are located far from the base camp, allowing hunters to access remote valleys without sacrificing comfort. The terrain at 6.000 feet is moderately challenging, providing the perfect balance of effort and reward for a fair-chase hunt.
During the day, hunters will explore mountain valleys, locate rams using binoculars, and plan precise stalks to approach the trophy animals.

• A professional cook, providing hearty Russian-style meals
