Gentlemen, the field experience with this elegant Caliber is still going with extreme pleasure. After the fallow deer, was the time of a nice chamois. An old Female, 12 years old. She was the matriarch of the herd, survived to the sarcoptic mange of 10 years ago. After a long approach, hiding between stones of an ancient glacier, we waited patiently for 3 hours and half. They were feeding and resting 400 meters below us, and the old female was laying on the floor, so that was impossible to exstimate her age. After long time she finally jumped on her cloven hooves. So after few seconds i was able to shot. At 240 meters the old female was hitted in the Blatt, and just falled down. We need a quarter of an hour to reach the death chamois. And 2 hours of walk to come back to the car. The shot wasn't easy, due to the long wait at low temperature, a precarious support and the site angle. After all, the old 7 Vom Hofe did the job in the habitual way. It has been the most exciting hunt in my life. Doc |
