    They like heavy cover. What about the alpine animals; wouldn't they be harder to approach?

    And here's a video of the hunt, if you can't be bothered reading. Unfortunately I don't have footage of the close up and the shot, I left my camera and bag up the hill while sneaking in. Would've made epic footage though.

    I'm drawn to the mountains and the bush, it's where life is clear, where the world makes the most sense.

    They're quite inquisitive too huh. So are tahr and chamois. The biggest challenge will be targeting "a specific" animal with the bow, not just any old animal. That's what I'll be looking to do now.
