HUNT KUBAN (WESTERN TUR)

The Kuban or Western Tur is found in the Caucus Mountains of Southern Russia. The kuban Tur is a very desirable trophy only found in a relatively small part of the Caucus Mountains. A Kuban Tur Hunt can be combined with a Caucus Chamois hunt. Our hunter Skip Ruppe took the SCI world record Caucus Chamois in the fall of 2006.
The Kuban Tur counts towards both the Ovis and Capra World Slam. The Caucus Chamois counts towards the Capra World Slam.

How To Get There:
You arrive at Moscow SVO International Airport where our representative meets you and assists you through customs. Depending on your schedule, you will either overnight in Moscow or continue on to Mineral Springs with a two hour flight.

Hunting Season:
Hunting Season is from August 1st - November 10th.

Hunting:
Hunting will be conducted from horseback, walking and hiking. The mountains of Southern Russia are steep and rugged and will require some climbing and walking. Familiarity with horse riding will greatly help. The horses will transport you up into the base camp area where you will stay in tents. Hunting will consist of glassing the hillsides and upper edges of the mountains until the Ram of your choice is spotted. The stalk to the trophy is conducted on foot. Rams live in remote country in the 8000-9000 foot elevation range. The country is truly magnificent. The better condition you are in, the more you will enjoy your hunt.

Accommodation:
Tents will make up the majority of your hunting accommodation. Please bring your sleeping bag and thermarest mattress.

Weather:
The weather in the Caucus mountains can change in an instant. Expect rain, sunshine, heat, cold and snow, sometimes all in the same hunt. Fog is also a real factor. Expect daytime 75-80 F from August thru Mid September with lows of 35-40 F. Expect daytime 55 - 60 F from Mid September thru October with lows of 15 - 25 F. Expect to see snow at the mountain tops the first of September. ALWAYS pack your rain gear every day.
