The Pearl of the Carpathian Mountains, is
the most vigorous one and holds the strongest trophies in the world.
The most representative animals are in the Southern Carpathians.
The Chamois' areal is in the Carpathians alpine zone, and it is
frequently found at altitudes of over 1800 - 2000 meters.
Romania holds the world trophy for his species,
with 141,10 CIC points, as well as the subsequent 10 trophies,
amounting to a total 118 gold medals.
The average size of the trophy is 90 - 100 CIC
points. Chamois body weight is an average 50 kg.
Type of hunting is by stalking. The hunt
by stalking requires lots of attention, considering the fact that
this animal has a keen hearing and eyesight. An exceptional physical
condition is necessary for the hunter, as getting near the animals
and hunting them take place in alpine zones with a high sliding
risk. A proper equipment is also required, we recommend footwear
with a proper sole. The stalking hunt may be carried out throughout
the day.
The optimum hunting period is October - November.
Recommended calibre is 6.5, 7 and even 8 mm,
with high speed bullets, considering that usual shooting takes place
from distances of over 200 m and requires a good training for shooting
in alpine zones that present significant differences in level between
the hunter's place and the target animal.
