New to this forum. Planning first time hunt in NZ.

[Northern Canuck]

Hi All,

Friends and I (all from Canada) are planning a Tahr (maybe Chamois) hunt in your beautiful country April or May 2024. This would be our first time in New Zealand. Would like to do it unguided. Would anyone be willing to share some general advise (I can do the same for someone interested in hunting in Canada)?
Looking for some general information such as a good general area(s) where we can either hike in or fly in (any good helicopter companies to recommend?), with good animal populations (not looking for trophy book animals). Our intention is to not step on any toes and be very respectful of the New Zealand overall customs, so some pointers regarding this would also be great. Thanks in advance.
