KILL FOR THRILL
HELP STOP DEN KILLING BY SIGNING A PETITION
BELOW COMES DIRECTLY FROM A RUSSIAN HUNTING SITE DESCRIBING HOW MUCH OF A THRILL IT IS TO KILL A BEAR:
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.
