Smaller form of Kamchatka Big Horn Sheep, found further North in the Koryak Mountains in mainland Siberia, above the Kamchatka Peninsula.
Similar in coloration to Kamchatka Bighorn only body coloration is paler than its southern cousin, possibly about 10-15% smaller as well, the white muzzle and rump patch are not as pronounced. This compact sheep has shorter legs in proportion to the body than Bighorn from the south. Of the many many different ranges in the far north of Kamchatka of which many have sheep on them, also display some different characteristics from obe group to another, mainly in horn shape, tighter curls & shape being the main. Area: Koryak Mountains, North of 60º N, and East of the Penzhina River, South of the 64º N. This hunt actually hunts these sheep in the true Koryak Range in the far north, NOT in Northern Kamchataka out of Korf on the East side. These areas have never ever been hunted before.
