My location for the next day


First day Giusi and Manuel climb the valley, I lie in ambush me on a ridge of the mountain where in the zone I had seen chamois some days before.Aspect up to the 1100 am then I see the chamois, I am 3 one is young one is surely a beautiful male and the 3 I still look at yesssssss is female!

I go down the ridge I bring me to course of draught around 150 meters, I take the sack support the rifle and PUM the chamois it falls fulminate. Waidmannsheil good female 4 years. Non important trophy but I can now take a male.
Giusi shoots to a female of red stag however it misses it

Second day rains and very strong, Giusi and I look at there in the eyes and return in bed. Manuel and Miki climb the valley they pass around 2 hours and two shoot they storm the noise of the rain. Pass other 3 hours and Manuel reaches the shelter with a beautiful female of one and a half year-old red stag!!!


Third day I go down to valley with the chamois and the others with the red stag doe.

Fourth day Giusi decides to go down to valley and to leave the young solos to farmhouse!!
During the evening Manuel and I see 2 females of red stag and decide to try to take her morning tomorrow! You goes to sleep its wine Merlot it flows to rivers



Fifth day we take the direction of a hold valley. I climb the rocks to go to place me, Manuel will climb from the ridge north and will try to push I pour them of me! 2 hours pass nothing, aspect, spends still some minutes and I feels a strong noises of broken branches and stones. I tell me "they arrive!!!", in the same moment I see a red through the firs but only an instant.I understand that they will pass above then I place me I see the buck in the optics the time to place the cross to the center and PAM....I see the legs of the red stag to the sky! do I feel Manuel that shouts "you have picked him up??" and I say "YEAHHHHHH" then it arrives of run, and it makes me the compliments we are both you satisfy our driven hunting to datum her result. A beautiful red stag with 7 point, trophy not the top however, the red stag weighed is 118 kg.The helicopter brings it to valley the same day! The photo of trophy coming...

Sixth day, I am tired I climb as soon as above farmhouse aspect one hour, I look at the rocks and I see a stretched out chamois to the shade. I look it is a discreet male, aspect, aspect and aspect for different times before get up standing. To that point I take the aim and shot. The chamois falls, once recovered, he will make to mark 22 kg, for 2 1/4 years and 23 cm of horns in length...not badly !!


Seventh, eighth and ninth day the rain and the fog don't make me do fortune!!!

10 day the fog it starts to go back, I decide to see if on there are aloft the marmots. Climbing meeting 2 cows that look me in strange way....

There is still unfortunately aloft fog, but in a moment of break I see a marmot that goes down in the lawn the time to place me and one shot the it stops the life on the place...also because a 10.3x60r tear off his head of clean....stupid law!!


...I hope that you are liked my adventure but it still miss a week...then it will begin the small game with the 12 cal. and then the hunting to the wild boar....all this up to February...
