Pir Danish,
Wonderful pictures. Hope to see more later on.

Please pardon my ignorance, what species of gazelle is that?

Was wondering where you'd been as hadn't seen any posts from you lately.

Hi Heeler,
Thanks. That is a Chinkara Gazelle of Pakistan. :-)
I usually post in the Asian thread.

On the plains of hesitation lie the bleached bones of ten thousand, who on the dawn of victory lay down their weary heads resting, and there resting, died.

If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with Kings - nor lose the common touch...
Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,
And - which is more - you'll be a Man, my son!
- Rudyard Kipling

Pir,

Is that a sus scrofa type wild boar or something else? He looks different.

Great pictures and story. I see Mark is hunting with a rifle, so that must mean no Speciality Pistols or Handgun are allowed for hunting?

Super hunt... was Mark able to hunt with a handgun or did he use a rifle? Saw him carrying one in the truck.

Due to the short notice of this hunt -- I was unable to get a permit for my handgun. I'm already applying for a permit for next year so we should have ample time. I had to borrow Danish's rifle -- Blaser Pro-Success in .300 Win. Mag with Swarovski scope. I would have much preferred my handgun -- but it was an incredible hunt nonetheless.

Best of Hunting,

The wild bore is Sus Scrofa and found from Western Europe to the far east. Right through the Middle, South & East Asian countries. Same species but several races.

You get other species (look similar) like the Andaman Wild Boar, Pygmy Hog etc. found in isolated parts of India.

Congratulations with some awesome trophies!! What areas are you hunting here? Is the changing of the guards from Kashmir?

Pakistan seems like great country for hunting. I have even seen a Norwegian company advertise wil boar hunting in Pakistan now.

To hunt, fish and tell only the truth.

I have noticed that if your Photobucket account is too full, then pics are not posted or if the pics were removed from Photobucket.

Pir, sometimes it happens. Seems like it happens when my Photobucket account fills up.
Thanks for putting them back up.
