Hunting in Pakistan

quail hound said:
I think he only hunts around his village and as far as his motorcycle will carry him in the hills and he said there are no pheasants around. The Ag land he's posted pics of look like there is some great cover around but they have only native and migratory birds. He wants to hunt pheasants but doesn't have the means to do so but he does have several types of partridge, quail (perdix), waterfowl, and a few pics I've seen look to be some type of francolin or sand grouse but he said they are pretty rare, that offer him plenty of opportunity.

Sounds like he's hunting within his $/limits. Driving x many miles/hours to hunt birds obviously isn't an option for most people of the world.

Do you mind if I post a link of a pheasant hunter from Iran? I have his link somewhere on this forum from a few years ago. Stumbled upon his picks in a taxidermy forum of all places:confused: ***NEVER MIND ROB. I JUST FOUND THE LINK BUT HIS PHOTOS ARE NO LONGER AVAILABLE.

Great post and photos. Always interesting to learn about hunters from other places. I think his dog looks smart and capable and apparently is.

Pretty neat stuff. Tell him to join up over here and get to posting.

We've got some New Zealanders doing a machine install here where I work. These guys are hard core hunters. Get them started talking guns/hunting and they won't get any work done.
 
That's a pretty cool story, and highlights that we've probably got more things in common than you might think.
 
It's duck season in Pakistan, this is Altaf with his take for the day. Some very pretty scenery.



 
Awesome thread! I love it when guys with passions like ours pop up in some of the oddest places in the world. All we think about from the media is bad stuff and bad people in Pakistan. But many of them are regular folks like you and I. We probably have a lot in common with guys like him.
 
Thank you. Seeing a fellow hunter in a distant land is a treat. :thumbsup:

Does the dog get carried on the motorcycle?

He does. They have some really sweet old Honda sl's and Yamaha enduros it great shape. These guys are really interested in the guns we use, dogs, the way we hunt etc. When Arshad sent me a pic of his dog he was very concerned with whether or not I approved, I told him it looked like a fine pointer and he was very pleased.

If he has access to the internet encourage him to join this forum.
 
This is one of Arshad's friends who lives farther north and east of him. If you're wondering those two large birds are Himalayan snowcock, widely considered THE hardest game bird on the planet to hunt.:cheers:

 
This is really neat, I bet they get a workout judging by the terrain. I'd be interested to find out if they have regulations/limits similar to ours. Also would be interesting to learn how they go through the process of acquiring a firearm to hunt with, is it more difficult than here to get a shotgun even? This has me really curious to say the least!
 
From what I've gathered they do have seasons and game laws but no one to enforce them so they are largely self policed and since they hunt very locally to their villages they only take what they can consume. They do not like pictures of big piles of birds (SD preserve type stuff). As for the guns, they can get pretty much anything from what I've seen but they're limited by a very low income and many shoot old hand me down SxS. Arshad has a new semi auto that he's very proud of that cost him a significant portion of his income but it helps supplement his families diet and, more than anything, he's a hunting fool like the rest of us.
 
Far Side of the World

Caravan
Ride that hump
And Timbuktu's a jillion bumps
Sleeping bags and battle flags
Are coiled and furled
That's the way you travel
To the far side of the world!

Haven't posted for awhile, but as I travel around I find that folks are really not so-much different. This is a Jimmy Buffett song (IMO the best song he's ever written) that drives the point home in a very cool way. Enjoy

doesn't surprise me LMAO.. looks like some good hunting there, thats wicked cool.. just don't freak everyone out by posting a bunch of native brook trout from Pakistan or worse Italy LMAO
 
I'm hunting with German Short-hair Pointers, there the leader in the field I'm just the boss.. buddy has a Transylvanian hound. even the old timers went somewhere to get a special beagles to run rabbit in deeper snow, Norway or somewhere like that only way to get em was there. allot of foreign dog breeds LOL. just looking at the age of these breeds of Hunting dogs blows my mind.
 
Really cool stuff.

It is funny how the thrill of hunting, especially with a good dog, knows no boundaries.

When I served in Iraq, I dealt with Iraqi's every day and I came to realize the vast majority of them really want exactly just what we want - a family, a decent income and peace.

Thanks for sharing your friends pictures.

^^Words of wisdom right there.

I love this thread. I wish there was a way to get the guy to participate in it somehow. Many, many more similarities than differences among the peoples of the world. A tiny percentage create the problems, get the press and feed the need for people to generalize and pigeon-hole others because they simply don't get a chance to know them or talk face-to-face.
