A couple of days I ago I decided to head out for a chamois hunt. I was returning to a place I had hunted once before and knew that my chances were good as I had seen 7 chamois on the previous trip. The previous trip was exactly 12 months previously and the weather was the same, little wind and sunny.
After about 3 hours climb I spotted two chamois very high and a few km's away. They were safe from me, but it was great to watch them for about 15 mins until a helicopter flew over them and spooked them into a hidden gut.
A couple of hours later I spotted two more chamois that where at about 1300 metres high and only 1 km away. After about a 2 hour stalk I got nice and close and shot the larger size chamois, but still only a medium size for New Zealand. I carried out the meat and managed to get back to my car before dark which is always nice. The gps told me I have walked over 15kms and over 1600 virtual meters for the day.
Heres a few photos
