Thread: How much Rifle Bling for a tahr hunt

I'm thinking 243 would be the minimum for a big bull. Shot placement crucial. Study some pictures, and think how long the mane is. The old up front leg and up a 1/3, will see you just touching skin. Fitness is also important. Look at some topo maps from the area, and those lines aren't steps. 200m vertical could only see you 100m away from your tent. Last time I wandered after a tahr, we climbed ruffly 1300 vertical, shot our animal, and back down in the dark. Biking helps build the strength and endurance needed
