Russia Plans to Attract Tourists with Helicopter Wolf-Hunting Trips – By Heat Street Staff March 10, 2017

Officials in Russia are making plans to start wolf-hunting trips for wealthy foreigners because a local authority cannot afford to pay for a cull of the animals itself.

The animals would be shot from a helicopter, with each “trophy” costing $15,000.

According to reports, the sport would plug a gap facing cash-strapped Yakutia, the country’s largest and coldest region in eastern Siberia.

The wolves are thought to kill more than 9,000 reindeer and about 500 horses each year, costing the nomadic famers who live in the region about $2.5 million.

It is hoped that rich Chinese tourists in particular will want to hover over the wolf packs and take pot shots from the safety of their chartered helicopter.
