Hunting Tips for Sundarpatan Nepal Hunting Reserve

• Work the drink zones. Most species here have a published drink window (see the cards above). Sit near water in that window, downwind, and let the animals come to you.
• Bird hunting: Greylag Goose live here. Bring a shotgun with birdshot, and use decoys and callers where you can.
• Dangerous game: Bengal Tiger, Water Buffalo, Snow Leopard can charge or attack. Carry a heavy calibre, keep a tent or tripod for safety, and don’t take marginal shots.
• Fabled furs: only level-10 animals of Tahr can carry a Fabled fur. Glass every herd for top-level animals.
• Diamonds: only take max-level animals when chasing trophies, use in-class ammo, and make a clean one-shot kill to keep the harvest bonus.
