I hunted the Blue Sheep in the Fall of 2005 with Mahesh Busnyat of Himilayan Safaris. We started in Nepal, hunting the lower mountains of Dhaulagiri I. I wore a Casio watch at the time and the altimeter maxed out at 17,000. I shot my ram some elevation above that. We camped at 12,000 then close to 14,000 and hunted from there.Where in Nepal did you hunt the Blue sheep? How high was he.
Any pics from where you killed him. I’m assuming you were on the eastern Himalayas for the Chinese Blue
I saw Blues while on climbs in the Himalaya
After that hunt I went directly to China and hunted with CWCA the government outfitter. My contact at that time was a man named Wang Wei, he organized everything. There elevations were high but nothing like Nepal.
I don't have many photos as everything was on print film at that time and the photo albums are still packed up after my last move. Hopefully I can locate them and scan a few pictures from the hunts.
I did have this one of the Nepal Blue Sheep scanned.
I greatly enjoyed Nepal, the people and scenery were amazing. China was less exciting, pretty desolate land and the people were just not as friendly as the Nepalese.
