In a 12-month period spanning 21/22, 7000 tahr were removed. Same for 22/23, another 7000 removed. 23/24 yet to be announced. Hunters will certainly be starting to see a lot less animals. With the huge reduction in nannies and juvenile bulls, as the remaining mature bulls (which are meant to be left out of the cull) are taken as trophies or die of old age, finding a trophy bull in 5 or so years' time is going to become far more difficult.
