Thread: Yum

Went for a wander on Saturday with a mate. Left home at 3:30am to arrive at the start of the walk just after 5am. Spent the day wandering around looking for animals. Saw plenty of goats so we shot some of these, my mate took some back straps of the younger ones. Two weeks before we were in the same area and saw a few pigs, my mate missed a good boar of around 120lbs. So one the way home my mate thought I was pulling his leg when I said his pig was back. Had to point out that there was a black animal in the clearing, it was showing it's spine facing up hill. This also happened to be the same spot from two weeks ago. We lay down and got a steady rest when the animal turned it's head, bloody hell that's not a pig but a chamois. I asked my mate if he wanted to take it, he replied ' no I want you to take it' so I did. Took a wee while to get across the valley being careful to avoid all the earth quake slips. A nice young buck of 8.5inchs and a nice consolation prize as we were hoping to find the pigs again and possibly a deer. Lot's of sign of both.

Nice.

Well done.
I would much rather eat the goats tho.

Nice conciliation prize, cool out there doing it.

A bloody great mate to keen for you to harvest the Cham ! A great day out well done both of you

Nothing wrong with that consolation prize, great job.

Was a stunning day on the hill. Can't seem to get the orientation right with my photo's. Sorry about the side ways photo.

Nice, we got one Saturday as well.

Good stuff outdoorlad.

Cool picture. Sounds like a good spot, lots of variety!

stirfry your chammy in small cubes its pretty good eating....personally prefer it to thar. very nice bonus. you wont ever forget your first cham.

Not my first. Shot and eaten a few now. I've never eaten a bad one. Don't quite understand why people think it's crap. A pissed up, sex crazed stag tastes worse than chamois.

Ive never tried Chamois meat so cannot compare, but thats not saying much ;-)

Good work on the hunt and thanks for sharing it, the forum needs all the hunt reports it can get over winter, shes a bit quiet.

Well done
