Himalayan Snowcock Hunt

[AdrenalineAddict]

I read a few posts on here discussing hunting Snowcock. A friend of mine called and asked if I wanted to go out and give it a shot. My first Snowcock hunt went great with a big rooster trying to outclimb me over the top of the mountain. I tried to toast him on the ground, but he flew up and came right over my head. I finally knocked him out of the sky on my fourth shot. I've heard lots of horror stories of people trying to get their first one, I felt real lucky. Those Snowcocks are some big birds man!!!

What lake is that behind you? That is a beautiful bird. The one you've got there must be pretty tired.

LAST EDITED ON Sep-05-10 AT 08:55AM (MST)[p]I placed the bird in a crock pot with mushroom soup, the same way I cook chukar. I was afraid it may be as tough as an old Sage Hen. It turned out that my guess was right. The breasts were like eating a tough Chukar, the flavor was fine, but the legs were like chewing on the legs of a Tyrannosaurus Rex.
