Altai with deer and ibex

Altai for me has become a place where I am constantly drawn. The reason to come here has always been a hunt.

“Royal Driven Hunting” for bears. It must be said, very gambling and mined, but literally a year ago banned under the influence of the “greens”. In Russia, the hunted foxes and hares turned out to be very popular. Continue reading
