We were shown to our private tents (yes one for every hunter) giving us lots of room to stretch out and get comfortable.<\/p>\n<p>With good weather above us we were urged to hunt that same afternoon. Broken English reports that their \u201cmountain scouts\u201d had spotted a small band of rams not too far from camp were spilling through camp! So let me rewind this story a bit\u2026\u2026we were originally told that mountain scouts would be in the field for at least two weeks prior to arrival, this at the time went in one ear and out the other with me\u2026..after all, what outfitter is going to put that much time and effort into a hunt\u2026\u2026the cost involved alone to do such a thing is not something the average outfitter is willing to do. You might get the odd outfitter to say that\u2019s what is going to happen but that\u2019s usually all that is\u2026.talk. These guys actually did it!!!!!<\/p>\n<p>We loaded up and took to our climb. Camp was in a beautiful bowl at about three thousand feet elevation (remember you start at zero with the ocean) we climbed up to approximately seven thousand feet in order to come over the top and glass a huge basin and valley below. Once we crested the top and settled in to glass, the guide got on the two way radio and contacted one of the scouts. A short time later the scout shows up, him and the guide start talking a million miles a minute, we can tell something exciting is going on but both myself and my hunting partner can\u2019t understand a single word of RussianJ<\/p>\n<p>The guide loads us up and we proceed to drop in and skirt the edge of the mountain. Only a few hundred yards around the corner and the landscape opens up into a long valley. Within five minutes we spot the band of rams just as the scout reported. With one really dandy of a ram in the group my partner was first up. We made a game plan and started down the mountain to get ourselves within a comfortable shooting distance. At a certain point our guide turned to us and said, \u201cThis is as far as we can go without being detected\u201d. We belly crawled out as far as possible and laid the gun over a backpack, all we can do now is wait for the bedded ram to stand.<\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-7\"><p>Five minutes later the report of the gun is echoing throughout the valley and we have ram number one on the ground. A beautiful nine year old Kamchatka Snow Sheep. The celebration is brief and we decide to split up. My partner heads for his ram with the help of the guide and a scout. I stay behind in hopes of locating a ram of my own.<\/p>\n<p>Long story short\u2026\u2026within forty five minutes it\u2019s my partner that is surprised with the rumble of my 6.5 Creedmoor. I find myself standing over a sheep of grand proportion, a once in a lifetime calibre of snow sheep.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<style>\n\t\t\t#gallery-2 {\n\t\t\t\tmargin: auto;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-2 .gallery-item {\n\t\t\t\tfloat: left;\n\t\t\t\tmargin-top: 10px;\n\t\t\t\ttext-align: center;\n\t\t\t\twidth: 50%;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-2 img {\n\t\t\t\tborder: 2px solid #cfcfcf;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-2 .gallery-caption {\n\t\t\t\tmargin-left: 0;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t\/* see gallery_shortcode() in wp-includes\/media.php *\/\n\t\t<\/style>\n\t\t<div id='gallery-2' class='gallery galleryid-780 gallery-columns-2 gallery-size-medium'><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a data-rel=\"iLightbox[postimages]\" data-title=\"image-4\" data-caption=\"\" href='https:\/\/hunting-experience.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/image-4.jpg'><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"209\" src=\"https:\/\/hunting-experience.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/image-4-300x209.jpg\" class=\"attachment-medium size-medium\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/hunting-experience.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/image-4-200x139.jpg 200w, https:\/\/hunting-experience.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/image-4-300x209.jpg 300w, https:\/\/hunting-experience.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/image-4-400x278.jpg 400w, https:\/\/hunting-experience.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/image-4.jpg 463w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt><\/dl><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a data-rel=\"iLightbox[postimages]\" data-title=\"image-5\" data-caption=\"\" href='https:\/\/hunting-experience.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/image-5.jpg'><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" src=\"https:\/\/hunting-experience.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/image-5-300x225.jpg\" class=\"attachment-medium size-medium\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/hunting-experience.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/image-5-200x150.jpg 200w, https:\/\/hunting-experience.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/image-5-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/hunting-experience.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/image-5-400x300.jpg 400w, https:\/\/hunting-experience.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/image-5-600x450.jpg 600w, https:\/\/hunting-experience.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/image-5.jpg 700w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt><\/dl><br style=\"clear: both\" \/>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n<p>Two magnificent rams in one day!!! It definitely made for a long day and an even longer hike back up and over the mountain to base camp but worth every painstaking step. We reached the base camp at about 2am, exhausted and ready to hit the bed roll.<\/p>\n<p>The next morning we woke to a hearty mountainside breakfast, guides completed our trophy field prep, with the fleshing process, turned the lips and ears, saluted everything well. That afternoon we were asked if we wanted to leave the mountains as a bad storm was to hit that was suspected to unfold over the next five days. That said, five days in a tent or go back to the outfitters main lodge (where they river fish) was a no brainer for us, we loaded our gear and within a few hours the helicopter was landing again.<\/p>\n<p>We took the 45 minute helicopter ride and saw some beautiful country, only to land in a setting that can only be described as a movie set. Nestled alongside the river are some great looking cabins as well as the main lodge.

These are the right guys for the job.<\/p>\n<p>Please feel free to contact me directly if you want to discuss this hunt in further detail.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Steve Ecklund<\/strong><br \/>\nCabela\u2019s Big Game Hunting Ambassador<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Host of Wild TV\u2019s \u201cThe EDGE\u201d<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"mailto:W2kcabelas@hotmail.com\">W2kcabelas@hotmail.com<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Book your hunt or simply call and enquire for yourself;<\/p>\n<p><strong>CANADA:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Antares M Inc. <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>by phone (Toronto Canada) (English speaking) 1-647-202-277<\/p>\n<p>(<a href=\"mailto:hunt.antaresm@bell.net\">hunt.antaresm@bell.net<\/a>),\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0<a href=\"mailto:info@hunting-experience.com\">info@hunting-experience.com<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>RUSSIA <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>7-915-459-15-94 or Email (<a href=\"mailto:huntkamchatka@gmail.com\">huntkamchatka@gmail.com<\/a>) (English speaking)<\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"fusion-clearfix\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":788,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-780","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/hunting-experience.com\/zh\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/780","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/hunting-experience.com\/zh\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/hunting-experience.com\/zh\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hunting-experience.com\/zh\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hunting-experience.com\/zh\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=780"}],"version-history":[{"count":10,"href":"https:\/\/hunting-experience.com\/zh\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/780\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":800,"href":"https:\/\/hunting-experience.com\/zh\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/780\/revisions\/800"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hunting-experience.com\/zh\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/788"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/hunting-experience.com\/zh\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=780"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hunting-experience.com\/zh\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=780"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hunting-experience.com\/zh\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=780"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
