Imagine being threatened by a Brown Goral, at a distance of a few meters. For the first time in my life, I sat inside a hide, a hide made by hunters in the older days. I sat almost motionless for 2 hours before this guy showed up, and when it did, it was beyond ecstatic and something beyond words and images. He was extremely alert at first but slowly came closer to lick these rocks for salt and minerals left by the shepherds who inhabit these place for 3 months (had left by this time). In the end, when it could not recognize what was sitting behind those rocks, he started to threaten me. Eventually, I showed up, and it disappeared into the forest beyond in a flash. An experience I will never ever forget. Such ecstasy, such joy.
