Thread: Anyone been out for a tahr yet?

Hi everyone, just wondering if anyone’s been out for a tahr hunt since level 2? what were numbers like Still a few around or has the “tahr control plan” made a huge dent in population. Cheers

Yup and nope. Thar numbers havent seemed to be affected where I go. I even seen 8 chams and 3 deer this trip. Do not normally see them in where I was. First group of chamois were feeding 10m away from 2 bulls. They dont normally hang out that close.

Some pics from last week.

No. I didnt take it. Taken thru spotter with my phone. Didnt look so blurry on my phoneThe kea were at arms length and a right pain in the ass the whole trip. Chewed holes in my tent and anything that took their fancy.

Didnt see any mature chamois bucks but seen plenty of bulls at the 13 or over mark.
Seen one absolute monster when I bumped him with in 10m mooching around in the scrub along a creek below my camp.

I’m going in three weeks so I’ll see if I can get some good snaps with mine. Hopefully there’s a 13 in the valley I’m hunting and I can get a close up Of it like the keas

Depending on where you're going I suspect it will be bit better hunting then. I only seen 1 bull holding nannies. All the rest were still in small batchelor groups or young bulls roaming around looking for mates.

Yip and yip. Went out last weekend and a mate shot a 12" bull with a nice cape. Seen around 4-5 bulls and a heap of nannies. No deer though sadly.

There were 4 of them together that were all good ones. Only 500ish yrds away from where I was. I seen the same group in the summer and they haven't moved far.
