Thread: Late January Chamois and Thar hunt

Hi everyone,

My partner and I have been hunting in New Zealand for a week now, but unfortunately, we haven’t had much luck so far.

We started hunting north of Lake Coleridge, where we saw plenty of tracks and signs of Chamois activity. However, the terrain was far too steep and inaccessible for us to navigate safely.

Next, we tried the area around the Twizel River, which was beautiful, but we didn’t spot any animals. Unfortunately, the trip was cut short due to severe rashes on my feet.

We’re now gearing up for another try, and our goal is to spot—and hopefully have a chance to harvest—a Chamois and a Tahr before heading back to Norway on February 14th.

If anyone has recommendations for public land areas with good animal activity and terrain that’s reasonably accessible on foot, we would be incredibly grateful for your advice.

Best regards,
Elias
