This technique requires a good knowledge of the habitat and behavior of the chamois, as well as stalking skills and patience. The hunter must use the terrain and environmental conditions to his advantage to get close enough to make an ethical and effective shot. Chamois stalking is valued for the difficulty it presents and the deep respect for nature it requires.
