Siberian Snow Sheep live in the mountains in the North of Siberia, from the Ural to Kamchatka. There are 5 – 7 species, based on the scientific classification or based on the Safari Club International classification. They are large Muflon sheep very similar to each other, with variations in color and in the dimension of the body and of the horns. In Yacutia, the large Eastern region of Siberia, the smallest and rarest of these species lives. The habitat of this specie is the low mountain area (from 1500 to 2400m) of Verhojansk, that extends from North to South, following the Lena river.
These are very inhospitable mountains, with almost no human settlements at all, a part from nomad shepherds with domestic moose that enter this are in Summer, known as the coldest area on Earth, with the minimum absolute temperature of -76°C registered. The climate is so tough that the temperatures go under -50°C for 3 – 4 month every year and the animals are very rare, so that hunt consists of infinite walks in order to find the animals. One found, closing in on them to a shooting distance is not easy at all, since the ground is completely open.
Lodging is in tents with no commodities and the hunters have to take their own sleeping bags. The area can be reached only by helicopter, which complicates the hunt further, since the weather is not always suitable for flying.
