Evenkia located 1000km north from Krasnojarsk in the center of Russia. Reachable only in cold weather by winter roads “Zemnik” or by helicopters. Area of 767,600 km2. it is size of Spain multiplied by 1.5 and only 20.000 people live there. Capital is Tura. 99% of Evenkia is covered by untouched, primeval impassable taiga with lots of lakes, big and small rivers, strange, unusual flora and fauna, unforgettable canyons and waterfalls. Cold, harsh winter climate. Deep in taiga woods there is only few hunters left who live there through the year. It is certain kind of people who choose to live and hunt in such remoteness and we had a chance to visit them. We stayed near Diupkun lake in the hut of Hunter Oleg. There is few villages in Evenkia like Cherenda and Enisej where local Evenks and Yakuts lives and hunts but mostly they just go for a day trip to shoot some wild Elk. When hunting season opens few hunters scatters in tents by “zemnyk” which connects those villages with civilization, they can sell elks to buyers who are driving back and forth. They move around with Elk but stay close to the “zemnyk”. Almost like “The Last of the Mohicans” Oleg lives in Taiga wilderness, 130km away from closest village. Sometimes few men who come to help him on hunting matters stay there too. It’s been 30 years, since Oleg started to live and hunt by the Diupkun lake. Oleg and his three helpers share his old hut without any problems. We spend couple weeks in this “family”, surrounded by unforgettable hospitality, meals 3 times a day and hot tea was always waiting for us on “Burzuika” the metal, wood burning stove.
