Thread: How much Rifle Bling for a tahr hunt

Hi All, Thanks for the input.
I'm away for a few day's and will be back next week.
Re bullets I normally use 87gr which has been great on goats and Fallow and smaller reds.
However this last little while I've been running a premium 105 gr that I have found is not ideal for goats. Big exit hole as it gets about 1/2 way through before it starts to do it's thing so I'm expecting that it should be good on something a little tougher.

Re fitness. That's the one thing everyone I have spoken to says. "I should have done more" I'm doing my up and down walk as I have found previously that if I don't do some down hill work the knee's start to play up.
Have also discovered anti-inflammatory NSAI drugs work wonder's.

I'm not looking forward to 1000 mtr climb's. Have done 750 a year or so back with full pack and while it did not take that long I was buggered afterwards. (probably went too fast)
I'm counting on the Helicopter getting us up high and hoping to fly camp from there.
Not too stressed if I'm doing climbs with just rifle and day pack. Will be taking my sticks. They make life so much easier and faster.
