Chamois stamp from Austria

The last two weeks I was on a trip to Austria and Italy. When I was in Austria I was in a post office where I bought some nice Austrian stamps.
One of them is this:


Wild animals and hunt (issued 14-03-2013)

The stamp shows a chamois (Rupicapra rupicapra) or more precisely a female, a pup and the track of a chamois. The chamois lives in Europe and Asia Minor.The hunting of chamois take place in the high mountains because the animals live there.
The stamp is the second stamp of a series. The first one was issued in 2012.
