Shot this morning, on a dairy farm in Culverden, far from the hills....

Saw one at Mouse point on the state highway there in 1982 ish when I was a surveyor on the irrigation scheme for the MOW.
Typically it was a young male on a bit of a walk about.
Rushed into the nearest farm house and asked if I could borrow a rifle to shoot it.
Typically the farmer said no but when out with me and got it himself !
One turned up in a park on the outskirts of Blenheim last year. Guy that spotted it thought "funny looking dog" before he realised what it was.

I'm picking that you just murdered some little primary school girls pet Chamois that she raise from an orphan and had named Chammy Whammy. :(
She's Probally putting up posters around town asking has anyone seen her Chammy Whammy as we speak. ;)
Cheers

Yip know of a Guy shot one on a lifestyle block by Amberley . It was like 12 or more inches . The bloke thought it was a goat .
Not a bad looking chamois for an out of the way place. You never know what's around the corner.
My old Man shot a 10.25/10.5" in the Tinline Valley in Marlborough, even though he has been hunting all his life he didn't know what it was :D
Plenty been seen around there, Serpentine Straight in the Collins Valley, up the Ronga & Opuri Valleys, needing towards Durville Island
Saw a photo of one wandering along beside the road between Alex and Clyde a while back too.
There's been one seen down below the alex bridge on the river edge recently too.
Maybe this is my problem,stop looking in the hills:cave:
