Listen to the story behind this one....

You know how they say a picture is worth a thousand words. Well this one's worth ten thousand!  We had just about completed a successful first walk for chukkar. If you know what that means you know we were out for a while  and just made it back down the mountain to the area near the rig. We had just decided to head to the truck, eat lunch, and go for more. Ryan Dearing has a dog named Rose that wasn't ready to go back to the truck yet. She headed back up the mountain. Ryan said she would come back so we went to the rig and had lunch. Ryan took time to make a sandwich  and everything. All the while rose made it to the top of the hill. Through the use of the garmin collars we use We determined that Rose was on point over a mile away.
We loaded up the rig and took an atv trail up as far was we could. Putting us within 300 yards of Rose. Of course the 300 hundred yards were straight up the hill. We got my dogs and ourselves geared up and headed for rose. When we got there she was still standing point. This was the only bird that flushed, after 45 minutes of pointing the other birds must have walked off.  Fortunately we got this one as well.
Rose had to work hard to find him after we shot him.
I've seen long held points many times, but this one may top em all. 
On top of that, look how big that bird is.  Looks like it is half Himalayan Snowcock.
