Hunting Chamois in the Pyrenees

We continue our Spanish trip from Montería in central Spain to the North-East of Ripoll, Catalonia in the foothills of the Pyrenees.
Here we hope to find a suitable Isard (Chamois) as part of a management hunt for the regional ‘Parc Natural’.

Well done Dan and Owen, chamois are a slippery customer wherever you hunt them, well done, waidmansheil!

What an incredible trip that must have been. Certainly worth all the blood, sweat and deers! (See what I did there!) Hunting the Pyrenees looks truly incredible. My arthritis in my right ankle was just screaming out watching you side hilling! It looked pretty tricky for you, Owen, so Dan must have been tip toeing like a ballerina to get across some of those steep hillsides carrying camera and kit without slipping.

I have family living quite close to the same area (40 km west). I hunted also Isard this october, using .308w Hornady CX .165 gr out of my Sauer 101 XTA.

Another great video Owen, loving the gear talk afterwards as well. Quick question, I’m struggling to find stockists for Merkel gear in the UK, any guidance on that?

Spain is an absolute primo hunting destination. Well worth a break from stalking in Scotland to go experience chamois or ibex.

That looks like a nice place for a hunting trip👍

Nice vidéo. Can you make a pack dump vidéo please?

Nice vid, you can say that a warmer year has given the Chamois some relief from long winters for a change. More carbon dioxide more plant growth!

At that angle you need to hold low or you will shoot over top, not that I have ever done it😂

Chamois are such a lovely animal, I disagree with your comments re that animal being full of adrenaline, it was relaxed feeding. Their a very thin gamed animal where big heavy projectiles from calibres will pass through with little mushrooming with very little kinetic energy being dumped inside the animal, all you’ll have left is a hole, it’s dead on its feet but far from being ‘smashed’ as you say, lighter calibres more suited to chamois have a better effect than large calibres,

Great stuff, the Trigercam has caught me a couple of times but not as many as i first thought it would do haha
