I have taken a mate from Germany away a couple of times for proper serious tahr hunting trips.
He shot a decent bull on each trip and has the dubious record of them both having lost a horn on the fall after being shot.
As per the one on this edition from NZ Hunter.
I both cases we were able to find the broken off horn after a hell of a lot of searching.
Thankfully they seem to always break off at the base and you would never know looking t the mounted head.
All adds to the drama of hunting.
They are the only 2 bull horns I have ever had knocked off on any of my trips and I have personally had some bulls drop some enormous distances.
