Thread: Tahr northern limits

A mate of myn hunted them through the late 70,s -80,s often he would see nothing there were so few around then 1 day he spotted one it was small in body size he didn't think much of it at first but eventually realised how big its head was one side was 16" the other just under, it was the best tahr head in the country for many years I think it may have been beaten now but the bull was so old it had survived all the years of waro he thinks it probably wouldn't have lasted another winter...I wouldn't be surprised if theres more tahr running around now than there ever has been ...a good time to go hunt them !
