I'm in for a goat.(Pics added)
« on: June 25, 2012, 12:24:08 PM »
Got word back from the booking agent guy today that I'm in for a Class 1 Guided hunt in the Austrian Alps for a gams/chamois. It's gonna be steep, rocky, and a once in a life time experience.  Gotta get my blaser warmed up to a few hundred yards.  :tup:

It sounds like it's time to get a new gun.

They are a goat like game with fish hook horns. Middle of august it should have a lighter coat.

Congrats. I hope you have the hunt of a lifetime. Please take lots of pictures for those of us who may never get a chance.

My wife has hiked in the alps, says it is the most beautiful place she has ever been. She had the view from the Swiss side. But I'll bet it is all incredible
