Title : Status of blue sheep and Himalayan tahr in Dhorpatan Hunting Reserve, Nepal Material Type: printed text Authors: KARKI, J.B., Author ; THAPA, B.B., Author Publication Date: 2011 Article on page: 25-30 p Languages : English (eng) Keywords: Blue sheep Dhorpatan Hunting Reserve Himalayan tahr hunting quota;population density Abstract: A survey of blue sheep (Pseudois nayaur) was conducted in six blocks of Dhorpatan Hunting
Reserve (DHR), Nepal. A total of 852 blue sheep were recorded in 73 different groups. The
average group size was found to be 11.7 individuals. The average population density of blue
sheep in the reserve was found to be 1.28 animals per km2. There were 263 rams, 307
ewes, 89 yearlings and 39 lambs. Among the rams, 126 were classified as trophy rams, 92
as medium rams and 45 as young rams. The ratio of trophy rams to other rams was found
to be higher than those found in the earlier studies. The mean sex ratio was 86 males per
100 females and the yearling to ewes ratio was 29 per 100 ewes. The survey of Himalayan
tahr (Hemitragus jemlahicus) in Sundaha block recorded 53 individuals with 30 males, 14
females, eight yearlings, and one lamb. The results indicated that the existing quota of
blue sheep hunting can be safely continued. In case of higher demands, two more quotas
can be added to Barse, Dogadi and Sundaha blocks for the next five years (2008-2012).
Himalayan tahrs can be hunted in all the blocks. Sundaha block can sustain four while the
rest of the blocks can sustain two Himalayan tahrs per year.Link for e-copy: http://lib.frtc.gov.np/elibrary/?r=14
