Well, as this thread is named hunting in Asia…
Here are some photos from the books of German zoologist Ernst Schaefer (1910-1992), who travelled and hunted western Sichuan and eastern Tibet in the 1930s. His first two expeditions in 1930 and 34 were led and financed by American Brooke Dolan II, while his third 1938-39 one was pushed and sponsored by Nazi Heinrich Himmler to collect evidence for Himmler's obscure theories. (See Wikipedia:"Ernst Schaefer", "Brooke Dolan II", "German expedition to Tibet") Would you deny such an opportunity to hunt remote regions if the devil pais the expenses?
On some of the photos you will see Schaefer's favourite rifle, a ¾ stocked Mauser in 7x64,similar to the Mauser "African model", clawmounted with a Zeiss Zielacht 8x scope. He was provided with this rifle and the ammo by Wilhelm Brenneke, Leipzig. All these "Original Brenneke" prewar rifles were built for W.B.,L. by Schmidt & Habermann, Suhl,on Mauser actions, as shown by their ESHA mark in hidden places on these rifles.

First, something familiar to our Aussies: A Sambar stag from it's homerange.

The Dwarf Blue Sheep was discovered by Schaefer. The species got the scientific name pseudois shaeferi in his honor. It is perhaps the rarest of all sheep, the entire population estimated at 200 animals.

A common Blue Sheep or Bharal

A Wild Yak bull, perhaps the largest bovine, standing 2 meters high at the shoulder.

A Tibetan bear, specimens known mostly from Schaefer's expeditions.

More Tibetan bear.
