A film by @wilbursensing for @project_upland The Himalayan Snowcock is considered to be the Holy Grail of the upland birds. In North America they are found only in the Ruby Mountains of Nevada. This Project Upland Original Film follows a journey that is more like a sheep hunt than a bird hunt. This rarely seen bird is found at elevations above 10,000 feet. On the tops of those mountains three men converge in this unforgiving land. This landscape is starkly inhospitable to dogs, and the mutual decision is made to leave their gun dogs at home. This film tackles head-on the ethics of wingshooting versus shooting a bird on the ground, particularly when it comes to a bird traditionally hunted with rifles overseas. The hunters: @matthardinge @upchukar @terrycowens
