Nice hunting area, animal and rifle. Interested in your aging of the chamois, it looks in very good condition so is feeding well with a good mouth of teeth? The annual growth rings we can see in the photo looks to age the chamois at about 6 or 7 years allowing 1 year for the hook, another 1 or 2 years for the main length and then can count another 3 or 4 rings to the base? Are there more growth rings below what can be seen in the photo?

I have shot a 14 year old buck chamois which despite being in an area with plenty of good food and with other animals in top condition, it was visibly old and in poor condition. It's horns were worn down but growth rings easy to count allowing 3 years for the horn that was worn away.
