Thread: Eyre Mountain Hunting

I hunt the eyres abit and have for quite a few years. Haven’t been in the Ashton but it would be worth a look for a chamois, but if it’s like the other side of the hill deer are probably reasonably scarce. As the others have said there have been some good heads come out of there over the years. I wouldn’t recommend hunting that country though the winter, snow does come and go but the chutes and gully’s get a build up of deep snow and they get very dangerous. The chamois do spend most of the winter high, in the snow for a reason-it safe up there from us. Spring is the most productive time up there, but remember spring doesn’t happen at altitude till November. Ps should also mention that days are very short down here through the winter months, and temperatures at altitude bring a new meaning to the word “cold”
