Snow sheep is a hoofed animal, belongs to the horned family. It is also called the bighorn and chubuk.
It has a dense body with small head and short neck. The weight of an adult male varies from 60 to 150 kg, body length up to 1.9 m. Females are smaller, weight up to 60 kg, their body length is up to 1.5 meters. Snow sheep (both male and female) have massive horns, thick and heavy.
Only sheep with a length of the left horn of at least 80 cm are considered to be trophy. The average length of their horns is 86.6 cm. Six of top ten trophy bighorn sheep for the last 10 years were harvested in our hunting grounds. Maximum length of trophy left horn measured 103,2 cm.
The horns of a snow sheep are a beautiful masterpiece of nature. They are heavy and massive, strongly twisted in a tight spiral in one and a half turn, their weight can reach 15 kg. At their base horns can reach 25 to 35 cm in diameter, length varies from 85 to 110 cm. Females have shorter horns not twisted into spiral.
Hunting is carried out on the continental part at an altitude of 1000-1500m, in the coastal mountains at an altitude of 0 to 600 m above sea level. The maximum height of the mountains is 2,200 m. Hunting a snow sheep on the coast differs from the continental one in that motor boats are often used to transport hunters and detect trophy animals on coastal spurs.
Hunting a Snow sheep is carried out in several stages: looking for it with binoculars or a telescope, stalking to the detection line.
So, even in Kamchatka, our farms are located in hard-to-reach places, there are no roads and it is necessary to use a helicopter. On average, it is 4-5 hours per round. In a helicopter a group of 5 hunters (for bear and moose) can take place . A maximum of 3 hunters in a group can be placed on a snow sheep. The cost of a helicopter, 1 hour of summer is about 2,600 euros. It is divided up all hunters of the group.
