At the turn of the 20th century Emperor Franz Josef gifted a few chamois for release only in the Southern Alps near Mt. Cook. Since that time, unhindered by any predator except man, they have spread south into Fiordland and north into Nelson-Blenheim area.
Chamois are quick, elusive and have extremely good eyesight making them one of the more treasured trophies. Male and female carry horns and are available to hunt all year. The mating period when the buck is with the does is May-June. This is considered the more favourable time. Free range hunting: Private/public land.

Bruce with a nice Salmon that was destined for the smoker, ( best smoked salmon ever) were the comments that came back from our guests during a alpine camp out high in the mountains. Marinated Racks of NZ Lamb with antipasto platters enjoyed with some great local Pinot Noir and Pinot Gries. How about Pavlova with strawberries and cream to finish.
Talk to us about fishing and camping out on some of the finest rivers in the world.
