John not much - per se - tho must look at it in broader picture.
I have a soft spot for Chamois in my heart - I live with those guys year around - therefore I tend to be quite picky when hunting one.

If you remember - it is almost 5 years since I have shot my last one.

I did track some wounded ones and lead a couple of friends on their hunts tho.

So all in all - I wander through their (Chamois) territory regulary all year around - to fill salt licks in the Spring, count them in early Summer when they give birth to see how many newborns we have and finaly stalk them in the late Autumn and Winter to shoot anything that deserves to be taken out (old, sick...).

So this morning was one of those when I happen to find one that should need closest interest of laying my reticle on.

It was preliminary stalk on one of the easiest parts (terrain wise), before descending into vertical world of theirs. He was with a group of 6 females with goatings. At first I was going to leave him with the ladies when all of the sudden I realised something is amiss with the expression on his face. So I tweaked my Zeiss on my R93 to 12x that confirmed my speculation that buck is blind on his left eye.

Shot at app. 140m with 9,3x62 GSHV 230gr doing 2550 fps was a bit quartering toward me - entry on the shoulder - exit behind the opposite shoulder - he didn't hear it coming.

We have a strict set number, sex, age quota for Chamois here - so a death of this one means a survival of another - healthier one. I must say I didn't know about this buck nore did my friends that hunted there hard for the last 14 days - luck I guess.
