These animals can be found in the Alps of southeastern France and the surrounding mountainous countries in this area of Europe. The summer coat is light brown and the winter coat is a very dark brown to black. The Chamois is a good mountain climber with excellent eyesight and can be difficult and quite sporting to hunt. This one is a large Buck with horns measuring 8½ x 8 3/8 inches long, each 3 inches around the base. The taxidermy quality is outstanding and it is presented in a seated pose on a simulated rocky base for wall mounting, 40 inches high, 37 inches wide and projecting 25 inches from the wall.
