Thread: chamois

cheers

A friend of mine runs a helicopter maintenance base in Queenstown. They often track the machines up behind the Remarkables ski field and says he see a few up there.

cheers for that shearer !

Hiya I used to live in Kingston , so head up Wye creek, it's between K and Queenstown.
You might have some luck up there.
Hunt early morn and late afternoon best bet.

Cheers was thinking of heading up there but wasn't too sure about it defiantly will give it a go! is access from the remarkables ski field easiest? then over past lake alta? By the way keep up the good work on the youtube videos!

Heaps of places to find a chamois mate. Greenstone & surrounding areas, Eyres Mtns, Mt Aspiring NP & surrounds, Remarks just to name a few. Pick a likely looking valley with a decent head basin between 950 - 1350 masl and decent sized south facing bluff systems and go for a look. The best part about hunting chamois down here is there is as much chance as finding a deer as there is chamois in most of these spots. Also, at this time of year be wary of increased avalanche risk, I noticed on Thursday there were some fresh ones which were decent sized in the valley I was hunting.
