I went out on a short overnight hunting trip with a mate from work. Mountain bikes made for a quick trip into our camp site.  a short 15 min. ride saved at least an hours walk.

We clambered up and down this valley all day looking for Chamois, couldn’t find a single one.  Eventually heard a Red Stag roaring way up the valley,  so we chased after him and saw the monstrous deer chasing some females.  sadly he got away… 

The Next morning we took a walk up the valley floor and ran into this Chamois buck, together Mark and I shot him.  A very Tasty meat, not very strong.  For those interested he measured 9 1/8″. We saved the hide and I will try making a rug out of him.  The ride out on the mountain bikes was a bit more work than coming in due to all of the extra weight in our packs, but definitely much better than walking.
