Thread: "Fritz" wants his first Tahr...

Ben, weidmannsheil.

April can be a bit dicey to organise something as most people are out hunting for themselves, friends and family and already have set plans for the roar so the opportunity to be taken out will likely be less as April is a busy time with the roar.

April is also school holidays so that’s family time with the kids and the school holidays next year run 12 - 27 April so that’s something else to factor in when planning to come.

How are you travelling around, car, camper van?
Are you planning on bringing a rifle with you?
Are you just wanting to have one trip 6 or so days for a thar?
Any other hunting your thinking about?
Are you travelling both islands (North & South) or just the South Island?
Are you planning or thinking about some fishing as we have some awesome sea fishing here and after the first weekend of May it’s duck shooting season?

May is good weather although it is getting cold but generally the weather is good all the way to the 2nd-3rd week of June but there can be snow at any time, the snow does help to push the animals down lower.

Thar are referred to the kinds of the mountains and when you see them up high in some of the inaccessible country they wonder you’ll understand.

They are a beautiful animal and great to watch during the rut with there mating antics.

Each year I generally take the second half of April and whole of May off for hunting mostly for thar, chamois, reds and fallow so perhaps I might be able to help you achieve your dream but May is still some time away.
