HELP!!!!!!!! Chamois

This year i have managed my first Tahr and my first Deer off my own back and I would love to get my first chamois in the same year. But i am running out of time and hunting passes.

Could one of you good bastards that are keen and knowledgeable Chamois hunters please point me in the right direction i only have a couple hunting days left this year so it cant be a 2 day walk in. If i have to i will fly in for a couple days max but id rather not spend a grand for 2 days hunting.

I feel i can ask this now that i am an established member of the forum and not a 2 poster asking for your spot x

Thanks in advance.

Thanks mate. Bit of a needle in a hay stack. Id rather drive 5-6 hrs to the franz area and take an educated guess which creek. I could do that a couple 3 times and get something (thats my plan for next year along with QT and wanaka catchments) but i only have one hunt left.

I like the whole "any time" thing you got going on. I commend it!!!

Yeh. "Any time" as long as the farm allows its not actually any time:)

The best Advice i can give you is go back to where you got that spiker and get another one,at least it will be edible:thumbsup:

Sounds like a plan to me give it a go. Put the effort in and you might just get one your first trip . Sometimes you just gotta be there and the rest happens .Good luck mate

Make sure you remove the silver membrain off it, I find it quick and easy to cut in half(but not threw the silver skin) and skin off in each direction in one swoop like skinning a fish fillet.

Rodger! Are the hind quarters good for steaks or small goods

STEAK!

Hello there username.Why don't you give the Small's a ring up the Haka,Cattle Creek. There are chamois on their property and their neighbours.
If your off a farm you should be in.

Thanks mate i will look in to it. I might go knock on their door i have been meaning to look up there for some wallaby access and find some geese.
I have a looong day trip organised for Wednesday hopefully that bares some fruit. Other wise my Southland cousin and i might hit the west coast or the mavora area sometime between 17th and xmas.

and I thought dairy farmers didn't get time off ? Little do I know !

The hunt was a fail but a good recon trip. First bit of 4x4ing for Cletus (unexpected). His early xmas gifts paid off big time (lift and tyres). Didn't see any animals not even a dirty ole Tahr:( My fitness may have been an issue? Still need to loose a few more kgshttp://img.tapatalk.com/d/13/12/11/u6eny8y9.jpghttp://img.tapatalk.com/d/13/12/11/7avezydy.jpghttp://img.tapatalk.com/d/13/12/11/yru3yrad.jpg

Buying new hunting toys is almost as satisfying as hunting, if they are good ones.

I dont care if i get a chamois before the end of the year now. Good things take time!
