Snow sheep hunting

Hunting snow sheep north of Lesnaya, with a bear also being harvested on the way back, with hunters Vadim Nesterov, Gennadij, and Aleksej Jaganov. During the journey, repeated breakdowns on the all-terrain vehicle were repaired with great patience. On the way up the mountain, the hunters competed with a bear, which caused our dog to bark, making us fear that the snow sheep had already been scared away. But finally, two were shot, which had to be butchered before the strenuous transport down to the valley. Then the weather changed, so that the hunt was unsuccessful on the next two days and the return became almost impossible due to flooding in the rivers.
