serow was encountered, only
the tracks of the fleeing animal
which left large prints where
it made great leaps downhill.
No game was seen on the way
over.
(19) We both went out climbing
goral each taking a hunter
+ 3 dogs. A went up the cliffs
above camp but his dogs
were so tired from yesterday
that they took no interest in
fresh goral trails. I encountered
with the 3 dogs a serow
soon after leaving camp in
a thick fir forest where several
piles of fresh deer were seen.
This serow let the first one
bolted straight down hill, the
dogs following to the foot of
the mountain. We finally
recovered the dogs by a long chase
to the base but never got a
glimpse of the game they were
pursuing. In the morning before
starting hunting I secured 2 shrew
with traps: a soray, a Pachygnathus.
