BEAR IN THE DEN
(Combination winter hunt for Bear and Lynx near the Baikal lake)
Many foreigners consider the word "Siberia" to be the synonym of the word "Russia" and
think that it's a cold, snowy and desolate area with almost no people living there.
But in fact Siberia occupies the territory from the Ural mountains in the West to the
Far-Eastern coast of Russia. Yes, the temperatures here may drop up to -50 C in
winter, as well as rise up to +40 C in summer. Besides these extremely low
temperatures are not very frequent and winter air is very dry, that's why you do not
feel the actual cold so much. Just add sunny weather here and you'll get quite a
different picture. Spring and fall, being the main hunting seasons, don't differ much
in weather of those in the Northern Europe.
IN winter when the trees are cracking in the 40 C below zero frost and UAZiks (Russian
ex-military jeeps) are diving roofs over windshields in snow there comes the time of
Bear in the Den hunt. It is one of the quickest hunts. But the blast of adrenaline in
your blood you get and the impressions to inspire the numberless stories you will be
telling about this hunt afterwards will be worth any other longer hunt. And the image
of a bear jumping out of the den and throwing away the dogs just in 10 meters from you
will stay in your memory for your whole life.
Bear "In The Den" hunt is organized in winter. Local guides exactly know the place
where the den is. They locate dens far in advance, in late fall, when bear just gets
in there. Usually guides know how big the bear is. Bear tracks tell them much about
it. It isn't difficult to get to the den. At first hunters drive there, then go with
snow mobile (be prepared for long rides in sled), final 500 -800 m are made on foot.
When hunters get close to the den the guides send a dog towards it. It is a
culmination of the hunt - lots of noise, dogs barking, bear roaring, fighting with
dogs. At that second bear gets at the hunter's sight. Shot. Sometimes two bears can be
found in one den and a hunter has to be prepared . Though the hunt is not dangerous,
hunter is always secured by the EXPERIENCED GUIDE at the back, with loaded gun. It
makes everything quite safe. Beside the Bear you can do Lynx and Musk-deer hunt with
dogs. These are the hunts for those who're willing to challenge stalking in the deep
snow and cold weather. That's why it' very important to have the right clothes which
wouldn't hamper you while moving fast and what is the most important here - warm
footwear which allows to make your way in the deep snow.
