Chamois

These graceful, petite mountain antelopes are regarded as top trophies because of the terrain in which they live and their alertness. Chamois are hunted all year with their ‘Rut’ beginning in late April and lasting through June The Buck and Doe both produce long, sharp horns and are very similar in characteristics. During the “rut’ they have a thicker dark winter skin with a tan striped face marking. In the summer months their coats turn completely golden-tan however there horns like the Tahr, remain to grow throughout the year.

Imagine an agile mountain antelope with the sharpest senses running right towards you as you decoy yourself silhouetted on the ridge line, then running off, making a sharp whistling noise. The Chamois Buck and Doe are one of the most fascinating animals to hunt because of their bizarre antics and playful ways of socializing during their rut. It’s an exciting, challenging and eventful experience for anyone up for the hunt.
