Thread: Which calibre for tahr?

They generally get big from hiding in scrub and then letting their dick do their thinking, like most males and then find themselves in trouble.
Thar are only majestic in looks and country they habitat imo.
They would have to be the dumbest and easiest of game animals to secure a trophy in Nz.
I have seen heaps of 13"+ bulls just in one catchment over the years that my 8 yr old daughter could shoot.
I have body shot mature bulls at several ranges with a 55 gr slug with no problems. 7mm/08 would have to be more than adequate.
Sorry if that offends some purists but that is my honest observation of the species and I have spent plenty of time hunting them and will probably continue to do so.
