Great looking country alright, I would presume the Roe deer is very nice eating?

It is. Might be the tastiest meat in our area.

Great looking open country. Well done!!

The law is just as you described. But you may camp almost anywhere if you have permission of the landowner.

We used to live in a little village over looking Innsbruck & not far from there I saw my first Austrian Chamois. All the valleys are stunning in all the different seasons

While living in Austria I got around a bit, toured through the Mannlicher & Kahles factory, went hunting for Fox & Roe deer with the in laws & also did some driven boar & pheasant hunts.

Whenever we hunt chamois over here I think of where they come from.

You definately got to see quite a lot of Austria.

It must be almost unreal to see chamois on the other end of the world. I'm looking forward to that moment.

It is... I'd love to have seen a few other animals introduced into NZ like Roe Deer.

I might do a chamois hunt some day in Austria.

Stubai Valley, 7/10?

Did a neat trip up there around 2010 when we were doing the tourist thing. Was straight out of the picture books!

If you need any support or advice with the chamois hunt... just let me know and I'll be glad to help.

Great pics! What parts of NZ are you planning on visiting?

Thanks! I am planning on visiting south-western Canterbury for tahr and northernmost Canterbury for deer and chamois.

Looks amazing!! Would love to hunt Austria one day.

Interesting......

NZ is more than 3 times the size and has about half the population, so population density is less than 1/6th. Still some nice places to hunt in Austria as evidenced by the pictures.

Meanwhile our hunting season is pretty much over. Had some great time in the mountains.























In early November we got some crazy amount of snow even at low altitude. Made hunting physically tough. But it made the animals spend a lot of time in the open so that most hunts turned out successful. A lot of meat in the freezer.





But the season's highlight definitely was earlier in the year when I was finally able to take a chamois doe that I had already known for more than 4 years. Not very tall but extremely wide and massive. 16.5 years old.



Some more predator hunting during the next weeks. And then off to NZ...
