Why Kulu Safaris?
Kulu Safaris is one of the oldest snow sheep and kamchatka brown bear outfitters in Russia The company has 6 base camps spread out on 2.5m acres of hunting grounds. Since 1992 Sergey Rudakov (outfitter) has been able to provide a great hunting experience for more than 700 clients, with average size for brown bear ~8.5” feet, and average curl length for Snow Sheep at 36.5” inches. Kulu Safaris can also organize a hunt for Yakutsk, Kolyma and Okhotsk Snow Sheep in one tour.
Why Magadan?
Magadan Region offers unique snow sheep and brown bear hunting experience. Terrain ranges from sharp rugged mountains almost 8000 feet high to low-land tundra with 10” feet of snow cover. The main advantage of hunting in Magadan is its location: here you can harvest 3 sub-species of Snow Sheep (Yakutsk, Okhotsk and Kolyma) and 2 subspecies of Brown Bear (Kamchatka and Siberian). Compared to other parts of Russia, Magadan is extremely underpopulated and lacks infrastructure, which allows animal populations to thrive and quickly rejuvenate.

Why hunt brown bear?
Kamchatka Brown Bear is the third biggest bear species after Polar and Kodiak Bear. The size of this animal is truly staggering. Average male brown bear stands 8.5” feet high and weighs 500-600kg in October. There are two ways to hunt Kamchatka Brown Bear with Kulu Safaris – by boat, coasting along the shoreline (marine or rivers) and looking for specimens to come out of the bush. Late May bears congregate on the shore because of Salmon. The second method is to use your own snowmobile, along with the guide, ride 50-100 miles everyday scouting for large bears. This option is used during the first 2 tours for Brown Bear and is mostly done in the beginning of May.

If you hunt Snow Sheep with Kulu Safaris, you get a sheep hunting adventure, from one of the most reputed outfitters in Russia, for half the price of a Stone Sheep hunt.
