13th November 2019: Camp at Dogadi Hunting Block and Hunt Bluesheep

Today’s camp is at Dogadi, Northern Hunting Block of Dhorpatan Hunting Reserve. Our Hunting guide Man and the hunters woke up very early around 4am in the morning and starting tracing the blue sheep. The animal starts grazing during the sunrise which can be a very good time to spot the crowd of the blue sheep. They crossed more than 4600 m and saw several of them. At around 12.45pm, an appealing herd of male blue sheep was seen which contemplates the hunters and then came to a conclusion that Mr. Eduardo will shot one from the herd. He hunted the blue sheep at an altitude of 5,025m, 210 meters away at around 1pm with his rifle. He got so happy and excited while he shot the blue sheep at such high altitude (5,025m, the Himalayas). Man informed the other team members on the radio set  and the team joined them in the hunting spot.

The team members carried the sheep up-to the Dogadi camp. They had already set up the camp so they divided their work. Some started cooking dinner and some started skinning the animal. Both of the hunters looked very happy as their first trophy was achieved. In dinner, they had blue sheep meat and Man gave briefing of the hunting plan and spot for next day.
