Mist and cloud in the mountains. It's the bane of every alpine hunter but is sometimes helpful during a stalk for concealment. #thehunternz #hunting #biggame #chamois #chamoishunting #outdoors #adventure #jagd #gamsjagd #mountains #gamsbart #buckchamois #gams #gamswild #rupicapra #trophyhunting #outdoors #adventure #nature #tahr #tahrhunting
Scottish Highland red deer at Blackmount. I had a magic few days using my right to roam. #thehunternz #bookreview #hunting #huntingbook #NZ #biggamehunting #southernalps #reddeer #redstag #stag #trophyhunting #Otago #antler #rut #roar #scotland #Highlandstags #highlands #monarchoftheglen #mountains #outdoors
Tre Cime di Lavaredo in the Dolomites, Italy. 2,999 meters above sea level, and the home of alpine chamois! It was a cold and miserable day on the hill when I was there in the Autumn and you can see a skiff of fresh snow on the rock stabs. #thehunternz #mountains #dolomites #outdoors #hiking #tramping #Italy
I met Cam from @thehuntersjournal for the first time just mere moments before being whisked into the wilderness on an 8 day backpacking tahr hunt. We planned to capture the essence of being part of the NZDA, joining a club hunt, and searching for big game with a group of like-minded folk of different experiences and skills. The background to this trip is covered in this article - it is very topical because hunters need to join together and have a shared voice, not only regarding the Himalayan Tahr issue but all issues facing hunters: access, management, firearms, training, facilities, government policy (the list is long). #thehunternz #thehuntersjournal #hunting #biggamehunting #tahr #NZDA #conservation #mountain #wilderness #politics #tahrhunting #writing #books
The Hunters Journal looking good on the shelves! It is awesome to see @thehuntersjournal is adding more quality work to NZ's rich body of hunting literature! #thehunternz #hunting #reading #books #magazine #literature #quality
The @nzhunter_official have the story about this old warrior bull tahr in their latest magazine (Issue 68). This is how I found him, and what a sight to see the mass in his horns. #thehunternz #hunting #biggame #NZ #biggamehunting #southernalps #huntingbook #trophyhunting #Westland #solo #tahr #bulltahr #trophy #tahrhunting #jagd #mountains #outdoors #adventure #oldmanmountain #saveourtahr #southernalps #nztahrfoundation
The preservation of hardback book dust jackets, in this case 'Stag' by Philip Holden (1980). #thehunternz #hunting #stag #book #reading #PhilipHolden
Day dreaming right now about summer time chamois bucks.... #thehunternz #hunting #biggame #chamois #chamoishunting #outdoors #adventure #solo #jagd #gamsjagd #mountains #gamsbart #buckchamois #gams #gamswild #rupicapra #trophyhunting #outdoors #adventure
I love finding old books about chamois - this one was at the Swiss hunting musuem at Landshut Castle. #thehunternz #hunting #biggame #chamois #chamoishunting #outdoors #adventure #solo #jagd #gamsjagd #mountains #gamsbart #buckchamois #gams #gamswild #rupicapra #trophyhunting #outdoors #adventure
12 year old buck chamois - that's what you want! #thehunternz #hunting #biggame #chamois #chamoishunting #outdoors #adventure #solo #jagd #gamsjagd #mountains #gamsbart #buckchamois #gams #gamswild #rupicapra #trophyhunting #outdoors #adventure
A helpful illustration to identify the sex and age of chamois. #thehunternz #hunting #biggame #chamois #chamoishunting #outdoors #adventure #solo #jagd #gamsjagd #mountains #gamsbart #buckchamois #gams #gamswild #rupicapra #trophyhunting #outdoors #adventure
