The Alpine Chamois
The Alpine Chamois – D. Bruce Banwell
As a mountaineer as well as a hunter Bruce can appreciate the skills of chamois, a very agile animal in it’s alpine environment. When he first started hunting them in New Zealand they were almost exclusively an alpine animal unlike today where they have spread down to sea level in some places. Whilst he has hunted chamois in both Canterbury and Westland he has never taken a chamois of presentable quality, although he has been present on several occasions when his companions have secured trophy bucks.
