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.

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

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

Shot mine 3/4 of the way up the slide below the snow onthe farthest left which is about 400 yards above where my buddy got his.

A small melt lake on the way out. I wanted to jump in real bad.

h2ofowlr · « **Reply #45 on:** February 26, 2013, 10:33:19 PM »

Very cool. Great pictures, something I will never see in person probably.
How are the people in regards to hunting in that area? Hopefully they are nothing like some of the Seattle ones we run into. Lots to say about something they know nothing about.

addicted · « **Reply #46 on:** February 28, 2013, 05:33:07 AM »

Hunters make up such a small % of the population over here that almost no one really knows anything. It is a tradition, career, and burden that is passed down through the generations.
