A team from Forest Department has left for the spot. There has been no snowfall in the higher Himalayas for a long time due to inclement weather. Because of this, the rare wild animals migrating from the higher Himalayas take shelter in the Bugyals like Kastura, Bharal, Thar, etc. Especially the musk deer that lives near the snow line. At this time all these wild animals live in bugyals. Almost all of them are in herds. At this time they also have newly born cubs. The most remarkable thing is that the clear weather makes it easy for poachers to reach these high altitude bugyals. Poachers become active as soon as the weather becomes favorable.

The Adam-era way of hunting wild animals is being followed since ancient times. The hunters set fire to the drying grass in a circle in huge bugyals. The fire in the circle gradually shrinks. Some wild animals die due to the grip of this fire. Hunters take away the deadly wild animals after the fires have subsided. Almost all are in herds. At this time they also have newly born cubs.
