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.

No. I didnt take it. Taken thru spotter with my phone. Didnt look so blurry on my phone[emoji16]The 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.Quote:

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 :thumbsup:
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.Quote:

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.
Great pics , the thar in the scrub looks like a goodieQuote:

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.Quote:
