    Guide/semi guided hunt

    A friend and I have been waiting on our visitors firearms license to be approved. We haven't heard anything and still want to go hunting 4/14-4/28. Are there options to hire someone to show us around and hunt tahr and chamois? What would the cost be? Any information would be greatly appreciated.

    Thank you.

    I am willing to help with an elk or mule deer hunt in Montana, U.S.A.

    Ive had this issue with a few people I know coming too NZ. The FLA are struggling to get permits done in time. Both lots got their permits a few days before they were due to fly out. If you havnt heard anything negative yet, its likely they will still arrive. Dont be scared to give them a ring either.

    The prices are Staggering! Im not saying that's wrong. Its just Id imagine for many overseas hunters, as it is for many NZ hunters, a professional guiding company is out of reach.

    Theres tahr down our way,but you'd need to be a mountain goat to find a good bull tahr in April.November is the prime time for tahr,they come down within shooting range in the late afternoons to eat the spring growth.
