Himalayan Snowcock Hunt (Pic Heavy)

very cool, you have me thinking hard about going after one of these!

Very cool birds. Hardest hunt in North America in my experience, except maybe Polar bear.

I went in 2010 and by incredibly hard work and not a little blind luck I shot a double on Snowcock and so ended my hunt with a limit of Snowcock. Still plenty of death defying hiking, but for me the hunt was short. I don't have a bucket list but I would like to return in a year with late snow and try to get up to them in late October so I could get just one without pin feathers so I could have it mounted. My 2 were early September pin feathered beauties. Extremely good eating as well.
