Chitral faces drastic drop in migratory birds Chitral faces drastic drop in migratory birds

The current hunting season of Siberian ducks proved to be a wild-goose chase for the hunters, as negligible number of migratory birds came to Pakistan’s northern area of Chitral this season compared to past. Several hunters said that they had not seen such a dull hunting season before, as in most of the outings they did not even shoot a single shot.

The hunting season of ducks, quite popular among the locals, usually starts in February and continues for two months. A number of people have developed a craze for the hunting and spend big money on making artificial ponds and lakes along the river.
