    2020 Tahr Ballot

    Hi all,

    Managed to draw a landing site in the 2020 ballot.

    Baker Creek mid May. Anyone hunted there and have any information they would be willing to share?


    Cheers

    Can't help you with that block sorry, but I'm keen to know how you were informed about having a block. By email I guess? Fingers crossed that I draw 1...

    We had Baker Stream in 2013,good block we saw plenty of Tahr back then. We flew to the top camp not the one on the Landsbourgh. It would be a hell of a climb from by the river.
    PM me if you want a chat.

    Yep, PM me with your number.

    #1 tip though... There's keas, lots of keas and they love your tent, sleeping bag, cans of piss etc (I've seen photos of a destroyed campsite ) so be prepared for that...

    It's a good block otherwise

    hmmmm, just realised Barlow is mostly covered by the Perth ZIP 1080 blitzkreig.... @The Claw, how recent is your intel? and what are people's experiences with how susceptible tahr are to the green gold? starting to wonder if we drew the block because nobody else put in for it!

    Have had Barlow before, good campsite but stays in the shade most of the day so it's pretty cold, heaps of room to set up a big standing room tent. Good access to decent country by heading up onto bench on true left above camp, were a lot of animals below camp down inside the scrub line on the true right, big day to access them but it's an option for a day if you can glass up something decent from camp. I shot a decent bull up in the real rocky country above the snow line on the true right above camp. Heaps of ice in the country above camp on true right so crampons and ice axe would be advised as I didnt have them and made retrieval of my bull a real mission and a wee bit stupid when I look back at it.
