| Brown Bear Hunting in Russia (1640 words) |
 | Hunting bears is difficult and the methods vary greatly from region to region, depending on the habits of the local bears and terrain. |
 | As with the Alaska brown bear, the Kamchatka brown bear grows large because of its abundant and protein-rich diet of spawning salmon and other fish in the coastal rivers, and from the comparatively mild climate that permits a shorter period of hibernation. |
 | During the Fall hunting season bears are hunted while feeding on salmon in the many rivers and creeks, or on wild berries in the surrounding tundra. |
