"Various species of chamois occur naturally from the Pyrenees, through the mountains of southern and central Europe, to Turkey and the Caucasus. Introduced into New Zealand, they were a gift from the Emperor Franz Josef I of Austria. Primarily diurnal in activity, they often rest around midday and may actively forage during moonlit nights. Their summer coats varies from grey-brown to tan and honey tones. They are much darker in winter, becoming almost black. The chamois is a challenging hunt, possessing extremely keen senses."

Tips[]

Chamois do not have a drink zone, which makes grinding for them much harder. However you can take advantage of their homeranges which are located on the two mountains that split Te Awaroa in half. They prefer to feed in open plains either near the peaks, or at the base of the mountains. If you can put a tent down at the apex of the mountains you will have a clear unobstructed view of the animals feeding.
