Hunting the Himalayan Ibex with rifle in Pakistan – A Journey to Remember
In this episode, I travel deep into the rugged mountains of northern Pakistan in search of the majestic Himalayan Ibex. But this hunt turned out to be much more than a pursuit of a trophy — it became a lesson in conservation, community, and the true spirit of the mountains.
I witnessed firsthand how local conservation efforts are not only protecting wildlife but also shaping the lives and livelihoods of the people who call these harsh landscapes home. The locals — true mountain men with a deep passion for hunting — pushed themselves to the limit to help me find an incredible old warrior of a billy, a trophy that I will never forget.
Their authenticity, generosity, and knowledge left a lasting impression on me. This was more than a hunt — it was a cultural experience, a test of endurance, and a memory I’ll carry with me forever.

Gracias por mostrarnos a todos tu experiencia y como vives esta pasion por la naturaleza y los animales, gracias por hacer que cada vez que veo tus video me guste mas la caza, con y sin arco, la naturaleza, los animales y lo que significa para un cazador todo esto. Un saludo desde Extremadura.
Mashallah very nice and energy put in to it keep it up
Passu cones are so magestic
Thank you for posting these. I look forward to them. Well done.
Great Experience Wonderful People
Doc was excellent but too much masala make ok but these guys still have to learn how to present to YouTube and collect likes comments and penny keep my WORDS IT WILL MAKES BETTER YOUTUBER
FOR ME TIME WHAT A WEAST
I am so in awe of the shear scale and enormity of the Pakistan country side, we certainly don't see this kind of scenery in Australia. Thank you for sharing this experience
Menudo nivel estás poniendo,espectacular Makina no cambies 👌
Pedro and team I want to thank you so much for your videos.
My 9yr old son and I watch them together and get transported all over the world to see places and people that we just would never have the chance to ourselves. It's more educational and far superior production than anything that 'mainstream' media offers.
Thank you again, please keep sharing your amazing work, Wren and I can not wait for the next adventure 🥰
Welcome Welcome…
Would love to try that kind of trip but cant afford miself even a trip to romania for roe buck 🥲
Menudos paisajes y menuda aventura
Congratulations! 🌿 amazing country and views 🤘🏻
Congrats on your hunt Pedro! What an awesome animal. You definitely put the work in and it pays off. Love your video's and now my daughter is hooked on your channel. She is hoping to harvest her first African impala with bow this year.
Best of luck for the rest of the season.
