Thread: Is it even worth planning a tahr trip?

I had plans for a spring tahr and chamois trip. First chopper flight and all that.

With intentions to bag a nice bull and buck.

With the 250 flying hours of death happening is it even worth the money?

Cheers.

Yes

Hell yes best country in the world right now even with the Minister of Conservation wanting all the mammals in the alps dead.

yes but consider bring it forward.

Definitely, theres bulls to be seen, and some good bucks. Get your a into g and do it, about 10th Oct should still see some good winter capes.

anywhere out of the national park wiil be ok, i would say they will be concentrating on that area.

Cheers for the heads up. I will have to email a few helicopter outfits and find someone to help me!

Look into using James Scott as your pilot if possible. He is a good bastard that has a passion for Tahr hunting and is someone who stands in our corner.

There you go just in case some cant be bothered to click on @kukuwai link.....its there in black and white don't support these operators!

I’ll still be planning a trip for next year it was really hard trying to convince people to come on this years trip but we all had a great time. My guess is it will be even harder to convince them to come next year but I’ll be planning it still. Hopefully there’s still some around and if not it’s great country to be in with mates, so if they want to come again they can otherwise I’m sure I’ll find different people to spend 4-5 days in the hills with me.

Ya know, I am just a PM away. However don't bother at the moment, I am really over it.
After the last couple weeks I have become somewhat embarrassed of the hunting community.
The majority cant see it for the trees but they're carrying on just like and sometimes worse than the antis we all despise. No different in fact whether it be them attacking any of our rights to hunting or owning firearms. Have a look from the other side for a change.

Threats made to operators because they're doing a job we don't like. Real smart. Everyone that has made a death threat is no longer fit and proper to have a FA licence imo. Hope the cops come knocking you idiots.

We all hate it yes, but is it the right way to go about things?
I have no skin in the game regarding alpine helicopters. I just know the operators reasonably well. They're imo, good people. They either did 4 or or 5 hours or they didn't. I was obviously miss informed if they did, but they have pulled out now for whatever reason and that's their choice and a good thing?
The way they're still being attacked is embarrassing.
Unsubstantiated accusations and hearsay is just fake news.
I know some concrete numbers and to be fair they're not going to impact the herd detrimentally imo, at all. A lot of damage has already been done to the herd over the last 10yrs if you ask me.

We are just going to have to adapt and learn a bit more to be successful.
So all the cry babies keep whinging and bitching and believing everything they read on facebook and keep channeling your anger where it won't make any difference.

Last post I will make on the issue.
If it is possible I have decided to just try and enjoy my hunting with some cool people from all over the world and all walks of life.
I will also use any operator I choose to access that hunting because I value safety, excellent service and knowledge more than I do proving a point and throwing a fucking tanty.
