The Hunt for Loque'nahak

I know I have written a very small description of my hunt for Loque'nahak and I believe other hunters trying to tame should have as much information as possible from those getting him. So here it goes:

Once we hit 76, we ran to the Sholazar Basin. We had read that it would be much more easier if you hit 77 and get Cold Weather Flying but we thought we should give it a try anyway.

We knew the 3 confirmed spawn locations, made our "/tar Loque" macro, and we ran up North for the first position. We ran across the Basin for about thirty minutes and gave up. Trying to out-run mobs and getting stunned now and then just didn't cut it. It was no way to try and get us the new amazing pet.

So we started questing in the area. Who knows? Maybe we got lucky and spotted it. No dice, though. We soon hit 77 and it was time for us to get back on the air (how we missed it!). So we hearthed to Dalaran (yes we know there's a NPC that teaches you Cold Weather Flying in Sholazar Basin - we didn't realized it before), learned the skill and flew back to Sholazar, where we restarted our "round-the Basin" flight pattern. We circled it for over an hour before we got tired - it was a long hunting session - and went to bed.

The day after (actually the next evening) we went back to our huntering and did another hour of flying around. We found a list with 6-7 possible spawn points and flew over them over and over until we got really tired of it and decided to do a few more quests and maybe more circling around flight later on. One of the quests we did was near The Lifeblood Pillar and was to be delivered at Nesingwary Base Camp. Instead of taking the short route (a straight line) we thought "heh, why not go on a circle and see if we get lucky". So we flew a semi-circle on the south part of the zone, passing through The Skyreach Pillar all the way to the West and from there we would go to the Base Camp.

We spammed our macro over the areas where we found yellow dots on my minimap and that we knew were possible spawn points for Loque'nahak. On the area Soutwest of the Base Camp, POW! We targeted someting! OMG we couldn't believe it! Our heart started pounding, we felt the rush of adrenaline which made our mouths taste like metal. We immediatly spotted him and looked around to see if there was anyone else nearby that could steal him from us.

We landed as fast as we could and then dismounted. And mounted again!!! OH NO! Our mount/dismount macro has a bug we didn't bother to fix yet which causes us to mount on my land mount as soon as we dismount! "This can't be happening!", we thought. We calmed down, hit the mount/dismount macro again and moved a couple of steps to prevent the remount, abandoned our wasp, laid the freezing trap and started the tame. On that moment we realized he was going to be ours!

As soon as the taming ended, we mounted and went up the hills on the West side of the Basin. We were hysterical. Our hands were shaking and we immediately started spamming our guild chat. A couple of hunters there started to plot a way to steal it from us but we think he loves us the most!

We realize a lot of people out there have been tracking him for days, even weeks. We can say we very, very lucky for spotting him, on a lucky fly-by, on the second day of our hunt for Loque'nahak.
