"THE MOST TRUSTED NAME IN WORLD-WIDE HUNTING"

Moose Hunting In Russia (Magadan region)

Hunt Location and Details:

Russia is becoming the most popular place for avid hunters to harvest a big Moose. With very remote areas only accessible by helicopter and the lack of resident pressure, it is easy to see why this hunting location holds large numbers of big Bull Moose.

The tent camps are strategically placed along rivers and creeks which are prime habitat for Moose and allow for easier access of the region.

The hunting area itself is located in the far eastern regions of Russia known as the Magadan Region. Northwest of the Kamchatka Peninsula just on the inside of the main land of Russia.

How to Get There:

After you arrive in Anchorage, Alaska by one of the many American airlines, you will overnight and then fly from Anchorage to Petropavlovsk, Kamchatka the next morning. Petropavlovsk is located on the Southeast corner of Kamchatka, approximately a 4½ hour jet flight from Anchorage. There you will re-fuel the jet and continue on to Magadan which is approx another 2 ½ hours.

Depending on flight schedules, an overnight may be required in Magadan. Then from Magadan, a transfer by bus, and a helicopter for the final leg of the trip into the various hunting camps.

Flights can also be arranged through Moscow, which may give more flexibility on arrival and departure.

Hunting Conditions and Methods:

You will be hunting in areas very similar to those of Alaska and the North part of the Western Canadian Provinces. The methods and conditions will be very similar to those of the North American Moose Hunting. The habitat is virtually the same. Heavily forested areas with open swamp and muskeg spots.

Transportation while hunting will be done by boat and by foot.

Hunting Dates:

The Moose season runs from late August to early October. You would likely arrive in Magadan around September 20^th.

As in North America, from early September until the end of the month is the rut for the Moose and has proven to be the most successful time.

Summary:

Hunters at this time must remember that they are hunting in a very different country than that of their own. With this in mind, these differences in cultures make this hunt an adventure in itself. With a little hard work, you should be able to collect a very fine trophy and create memories that will last a lifetime.
