Anatolian Chamois Hunting, Turkey
Hunting Season: October 1st – March 31st
Although a small animal, the chamois is one of the most important beasts to chase in Europe. Its agility and natural intelligence, and the high and difficult mountains in which it lives render it one of the finest quarries of the true hunter. Chamois can be found in most of the high ranges in Central and Southern Europe, their range extending from the Pyrenees to the Caucasus and from the Southern Carpathians to Albania.
The colour of the Chamois in summer is a greyish dun, with black markings on their face, but in winter their hair grows long and becomes almost black. However many varieties occur, including Albino and Menalistic however these are now rare. Chamois are gregarious and found in small herds.
Although a very much achievable game species, the Anatolian Chamois does not have a huge range, and his total population across their range is estimated to be somewhere around 1200 individuals. Conservation measures in Turkey for Anatolian Chamois, although present, are not as rigid and efficient as they are for Bezoar Ibex, and measures are currently underway with the intervention and help of International hunting bodies to introduce a comprehensive Anatolian chamois management plan. Licenses are however available, meaning Anatolian Chamois is most definitely on the menu!
The best method of hunting Chamois anywhere in the world is to get above them. The hunt is conducted on foot using a method of spot and stalk.
