Thread: Chams in funny places...

If I recall correctly, a chamois used to frequent a housing section on the west coast town of Cobden and the locals named him Shamus. He used to hang around a lot and he was very well liked, but eventually some asshole shot him and caused quiet a bit of grief.

I'm not a vege or tree hugga but I like the thought of seeing these little fellas and other species outside of their domain and would not shoot them, I prefer to challenge them in their own environment. But hey, that's just my thoughts

Bloke who shot him will probably never get an opportunity to see one "in its domain" so good on him I say, hes put it to good use and boned out all the meat he could too. I would have left it alone even in its domain, but a trophy in my eyes would be different to the next guy, hes pleased as punch.

Ps: still trying to dream up a decent story about my best stag to date, "official story" is it was standing broadside at 100yds feeding up on a crop paddock after the roar, but "un-official story" will have to involve some big ass mountains, an 800yd shot in less than ideal conditions and the carry out from hell I reckon....
