Wow, the positive feedback here has been wonderfully refreshing. It almost makes my trip to experience the goodwill, kindness, and support from fellow sportsmen in their own habitat. We’ve been up past Lake Pukaki in the Mt. Cook area for the last 2 days. Hiked in a few kilometers up a slip before taking a minute to pull out binoculars and have a look up the valley slopes. My brother caught some movement up high so I quickly got some glass focused in his direction and sure enough a trophy-sized bull tahr was about 1 kilometer almost straight up above us. As I watched for several minutes, 1 other bull and 3 nannies joined him in the open just above the snow line. Very exciting to see that there indeed does exist wildlife down here! Darkness that evening and then the rain, snow, and 70-80km winds we were in up in the valley today have kept us from making the 4 or 5 hour climb up.
