Epic hunting trip (Pakistan)

[h20hunter]

Amazing trip for sure! Congrats man and a beautiful ram

Carp...you have a bit of hunting under your belt and been on a few adventures....is that the kind of hunt that makes even you a tad envious?

Great trophy in beautiful rough country. I sure wish I would have done some sheep hunting when I was younger. Please post pictures of all your mounted trophies. I have seen pictures of a few of your trophies.

WOW!!!  Thank you for sharing!  Gotta ask what everyone is thinking though.  Was there any Taliban activity to be concerned about in the Northern region of the country?  I assume most Taliban activity is concentrated on the Afghanistan boarder but was curius what you were told/experienced?

Brian has more then a few animals  like his masher moose and some great rams that I am indeed envious of. If I was more of a sheep hunter I would have a few more myself but i dont spend much focus on sheep. I do know a thing or two about planning and hunting other countries and know how much work I have put in to know what I know. Hunting places like Pakistan is out of my league. Brian is more hardcore then me that is for sure. I am glad people like him share these great hunts and let our imaginations run wild.

I have done a few dream hunts already but my ultimate is a Marco ram. I don't know if I will ever get there but can dream for now.

Well.....you all keep the exotice hunt recaps coming. Many of us can dream and live it through your adventures.

There wasn't any concern about taliban at all. I never seen any of the of locals even carry a gun. I  have several conversations about taliban with my guide and he did say there were areas on the Afghan boarder that even the locals wont go. He explained that the taliban was just as likely to rob and kill any locals as they are any one. The best way I can explain it is its like the drug cartells on our Mexican boarder.  Some areas aren't safe no matter who you are.

What an incredible adventure and trophy, would love to do that someday, it actually sounds more affordable than most hunts. Thanks for sharing.

This pic was taken at the last check point before going into China, about 20 miles away.
This is the only leopard I seen while there.
I talked to the conservation hunting area director where I hunted ibex at and he said they were going to issue one snow leopard permit in the near future. I'm sure they are hoping to sell it for big $. I'm just not sure how a person would hunt one. It's not like there are any hounds in Pak to use.

Im not sure how a person could hunt one because they are just so cool. There are some things that I would never kill, and something as rare and cool as that cat is definitely one of the things i would never kill.

Thank you for sharing your hunt. Its great that you hunted Blue sheep when you are young. I am 74 now and this hunt is out of the range for me, But 62 days I will be in Zimbabwe  for Loepard. John

Freaking awesome. I'm still far enough down the hunting destination pecking pole that I just day dream about Idaho... a whopping 300 miles away. I can't imagine having this as a day dream. That's just freakin' awesome....
