Good job lancaster.

How about bit more on that hunt.

Were you stand hunting or hunting over bait? How'd you guess a fox might come by?

Nice gun, too, by the way!

was waiting over bait, in the morning

short before the first light only the man in the moon give a little bit, just enough to see there was a movement, a shadow. he was wandering around the bait just like a fox maybe 15 meter away. dont expect a badger because this is a fox hotspot and we try to get as many as possible only to help the poor hares and pheasants who have it hard to make a living today in an agriculture that dont care for their needs.
nobody hunt hare and pheasant here anymore.
you never see a badger here in day light. he love the moon and is only on his feets when the sun is going down and before she comes back .

if you have a classic drilling you love it, you can believe me

a rare griffon vulture was shot illegal probably with a rimfire rifle in Vorarlberg/Austria
https://www.jagderleben.de/news/oesterreich-gaensegeier-illegal-geschossen





hard to immagine today this bird was once more common in the alps but its seen now regulary again. he is flying north in summer time coming from the balkan or spain, southern france.
one young vulture from southern france reach finnland in 2000. very unusual area for an vulture at all.

Superb winter woodland scenery Primoz, thank you for sharing with us.
Is the dog the same Bayrischer Gebirgsschweißhund that you presented us last year?

Hi Louis, yes the very same - it is a pure pleasure to work with, as long as your stamina is up to. She can track for tens of kms without mistake - tha calf on the pic was a second tracked down on Saturday (hit in the front leg) the first one was hit in the hind leg...all in all I made 14km that day.

Still time is running fast and we are already adding a new recruit - his name is Ben and with all the hunting and shooting we do here will be up to task in no time.

Your Bayrischer Gebirgsschweißhund is very handsome dog.
It looks similar to our redbone hound which is a cold scent hunting dog.

Only just looked at this thread, some great stuff on here, but the Vulture was a surprise to me, heck if we shot one in Africa we would be in Deep shit, found a dead one once & was hoping to get the skull for my collection, my buddy said no way to take it or even touch it, darn !

Thank you for posting !

Watching the vultures gather on a carcass in Africa, it was interesting to note how the Egyptian vultures immediately got out of the way when a Griffon Vulture appeared.

Some live action - Coup de Grace on wounded red hind after 5km trail. Hind was wounded in its front leg and it was the third that day that I tracked down. Young companion that did the recording with his cell phone was rather impatient and later shaken upon the shot tho .

https://youtu.be/-LK5KVz_S7Y

If some of you wonder - no I did not shoot the dog - here is the extraction - the beginning. It took us 3 hrs to get it to the road. Broken (shot) front right leg can be seen on the pic.

there was a good joke lately


there is nothing so devastating like a divorce



except 8x68S RWS H.Mantel bullet on fox

was making crop petection, actually a lot of hunting here is in fact crop protection

maize was sowed and wild boars were there


they working very exact to find it







while having duty for crop protection the boars dont come but fox running from left to right at 10.30 pm - last light one week after st. johns day.
there are two groups, one dont shoot if its only a fox because something bigger could come and
then is another group shoot any fox they see. I belong to the last.

got a very nobel shoot at 50 meter running with 7x57R and Brennecke TIG bullet in the evenfall. maybe not the best shoot in history but I am happy to get him





area have a lot of wind turbines, dont like them but they have also something good: you allways see the wind direction and there is allways some rattle and game forgive you an unexpected noise because of this common noise level




at 11 pm the wolf came over




hope to get him on the pic but only the glowing eye is seen because of the flash. you may think anything is over then but 30 minutes later fallow deer came out of the forest

was in austria last week and a chamois hunt was part of this

pics showing my hunting guide, coming from the lowlands you are nothing without him on 2000 meter above sea level














common joke when you pass this derelict barn the first time " here is our hunter's cabin"



weather in mid october there could be anything from snow and frost to heat at lunchtime





you see how first avalanches after the first snow of the winter clear the snow from the alp again so the chamois were standing there finding fodder instead of coming down to the treeline where we were waiting.
first day it don't look very good for me and I was seeing myself coming down without a bag.











this old doe was the first one we spooted in range of the 243 winchester. I shoot at 320 meter in the evening and she give strong signals of being hit before disappear behind the next rook. because of the coming darkness we agree that I was going back to the hunting cabin and take the baggage while the guide climbing up to get the game. he found it siting 20 meter from the point I was hit it, still alive but not able to stand up anymore. he deliver it with a shoot in the "Wundbett" the sore-bed.
we than reach the ground in the beginning of the darkness

I like this one but would not think of using a 8x68S for it. Maybe a chance encounter.

Waidmannsheil!



Always a worry when they run off out of sight! But it did not go far.

Looking at all your excellent photos, gets my lungs,c hest and heart pumping in sympathy! Thanks for posting all those photos, makes the post so much more enjoyable to "live" some of the hunt through your camera lens.




I love the alphutte! I want one of these for my bush block.



I must post some photos from Romania/Transylvania of little huts they have there of two stories. I would love to build an Aussie simplified version of them.

Thanks for posting And a nice trophy and some chamois/gams venison to take home.

Chamois has always been a species I would like to hunt. My fitness was once excellent, but now needs a huge improvement before it would be possible. Even with a Kiwi hunt of a chopper dropping one off up at the top and a mountainhunt or camp to stay in. One day .... maybe ......

A wolf? Wow. Where roughly is this in Europe where there are wolves? I know there ware some in France. Some re-released in Sweden and Norway. I think on the mountain about Florence in Italy the gamekeepers told me there was the occasional lupo still. So I guess there are still some about. And a chance encounter.

the guy that shoots any fox in sight will take whats there. if he had a 500 NE in his hands he would shoot the fox with this rifle

-



well, actually wolf country starts now 100 meter from my own house

this map is made 3.12.2019, 10km by 10km raster
green field - he is there
green field with black dot - he reproduce there



a friend film this one here with his mobile phone some times ago in broad daylight

the hut was build together then disassembled and fly on the mountain with a helicoter and build together again
one minute with the helicopter cost 250 euro so you prepare everything perfect. the hut had electric light by a solar panel and a car battery and constant water that was spring fed above of the hut.

very luxury

my guide was a passionate smoker so I was able to follow him. the other guy who is some years younger climb the way we make in 1,5 hours in 20 minutes.

Congratulations on your chamois hunt, Lancaster, harvesting a 13-year-old one, quite an old age for this game, is a great achievement, and thank you for the photos and report. I hope you have now been infected by the mountain hunting virus and will therefore be able to share such reports with us on a regular basis!
