A CHAMOIS FASCINATION
It began with seeing photos of guys with big trophy bucks in magazines when I first started hunting and progressed to seeing and harvesting a young chamois buck, my first ever animal taken on DoC land on a solo hunt.
Something about chamois has always piqued my interest, probably because it generally involves being high above the bush line in the alpine country, where I’m most at home. I’ve spent many hours in the scrub watching them, gaining more and more respect for the animals and increasing my knowledge of their behaviour on each trip – although they always find a way to surprise me! I’ve been lucky enough to take three respectable bucks
