Upcoming Tahr rut

Hi all, with the tahr rut and associated ballots starting soon here's a thread to discuss such endeavors.
To start it off, I'm off to teichelmans ck 1st period.
Never been in this block before also have no clue on area, camp site and tahr in the area.
It's also the first time a first period has been won with mostly 5th to 8th being lucky in past.
I have been made aware of the zip program in the area but with some knowledge from the oracles here we can try further afeild it terrain permits.
Im not a complete noob to tahr but this area of the Adams i am.
I can give some advice on some landsborough blocks, dechen baker hinds.

Id say make sure you book your ferry and give your self time to make the crossing.
Just heard of a guy that got clagged in west coast missed ferry. Vehicle sitting in Picton for four weeks before they have room for it to cross.

OK so no one has been to teichelmans creek. Or no one wants to lend advice [emoji849]

Who else on here is flying in first period from hydro at wanganui river. Could be good to catch up on the Friday night prior.

Cheers

We are flying in from the hydro first period we are going into Poker Gully and 4 mates are going into Adams Flat, i hope to see you there weather permitting.

Nice, I have being trying for Adam's flat for the last 3yrs
Looking at taking my son with us too as two others from our party of 4 have pulled out.
Will be his first time in tahr country.

Bad luck if your booked trip gets the cut or some party members get chopped.
Is there a place to list your up coming trip if you need a replacement member? I'm sure there are many fellow hunters that would appreciate and pay there way for a fly-in trip that has slack mates.

will be going from the whataroa road end . closest town is actually fox.

shit my geography is poor , it will be franz 19km

What's worse than a week of rain in a ballot block?

Testing positive day before heading to tahr block.

I guess it's better than day after landing. Still dosnt make me feel better about it.

Last 2 years have been affected by covid. Why not 3.

Weather looks really good for the Adam's area too.

All the best for those heading in tomorrow. Love to be in the hills with ya all.

Shit man I should have talked to you about it. I'm one of the 2 that pulled out of this trip. Me and lathan. We did the fiordiland trip instead. Maybe I'll ring Steve tomorrow and see what he can do

Has anyone got any tips/ info on speculation creek? Group of us going in there next week. Is there water handy to the campsite?

Hope you left something for us Macca. 4 of us heading into Poker Gully for our first crack at a tahr block in the 8th period. Looking forward to it.

Two weeks until we head into Abel Lake, can’t wait!

Good luck. Hope you find something. Shame I haven't got a block because I owe you one.

Just watch out for that ol' bull @Tahr :)
