Kamchatka Brown Bear Hunting Trips

Even though Alaska holds a special place for hunters (us included), we think you should consider the unparalleled brown bear hunting on Kamchatka Peninsula, where remote wilderness and high bear populations redefine the hunting experience. With minimal pressure, a high success rate, and the realistic opportunity to hunt 10-foot giants, all at a surprisingly affordable cost, Kamchatka stands out as the ultimate destination for trophy brown bear hunters.

The dream of taking 10-foot Alaskan brown bear has become a daunting challenge.

Even in the best areas, success rates are fairly low, despite soaring costs. Most hunters return with bears squaring between 8.5 and 9.2 feet, which are still remarkable but not the colossal specimens we all dream of.

Securing a true 10-foot giant has become increasingly rare, almost an exception in modern times. Our Alaskan outfitters manage some of the best bear territories, and achieve higher success rates, but these hunts come at a premium. Not only are they expensive, but booking them can mean waiting years, with costs steadily climbing each year.

Kamchatka Brown Bear Hunting is Unmatched

When it comes to brown bear hunting, the Kamchatka Peninsula stands out, challenging conventional wisdom and offering an experience unparalleled in North America. Here, you’ll need to reimagine what brown bear hunting can be.

Unheard of Success Rates

The prime bear hunting areas in Kamchatka are accessible only by helicopter, ensuring minimal hunting pressure. In fact, there’s no legal limit on the number of bears a hunter can take in a single expedition. Over the last 25 years in our exclusive area, hunters have averaged two bears per 6-day hunt, boasting an astonishing 200% success rate.

High Population of Bears

The bear population here is so dense that seeing 20 or more brown bears each day during a 6-day hunt is not uncommon. This high density means guides set out each morning with the goal of targeting bears measuring 10 feet or more.

Optimal Hunting Season

Spring in Kamchatka offers the best time for hunting trophy bears with prime hides. Thanks to the snow, locating these giants is facilitated by snowmobiles, making this one of the least physically demanding brown bear hunts globally, accessible to hunters of all abilities.

Cost-Effective

Hunting a Kamchatka brown bear cost significantly less than similar high-quality hunts in places like the Alaskan Peninsula or Kodiak, with an all-inclusive cost that’s 25% to 40% less, covering flights, charters, licenses, tags, and even tips.

Gear and Gun Permits

While our outfitter provides modern, high-quality firearms for rent, we also assist hunters in obtaining personal gun permits for Russia, ensuring you can hunt with your preferred gear.

Our English-speaking team in Russia handles all aspects of your journey, from arrival and gun clearance to daily camp management and trophy processing, ensuring a smooth and enjoyable hunting experience from start to finish.

After your Spring hunt, you’ll receive your professionally bleached skulls and tanned hides within about 6 months, bypassing the usual long waits at tanneries, allowing you to mount your trophy much sooner.

The Human Element

You’ll be hunting with native Itelmen guides who bring generations of hunting knowledge to the table, providing an authentic and deeply respectful hunting experience. Coupled with our Team in Russia, known for their professionalism and expertise, your hunt is in the best hands. The Russian people share universal desires for freedom and a normal life, making them some of the most welcoming and hardworking individuals we collaborate with in Asia.
