Thread: West Coast Thar Info

Hey Team,

Asking for a bit of help here please. Myself and @scoped are looking into venturing down to the South Island at the end of this year over the Xmas/NY holiday, to try our luck on bagging one of those furry goats people call tahr Have tried the classic online search, but struggling to find some information.

Have been told to talk to James Scott, but I still haven't been able to get hold of him (rung him roughly 10 times, and emailed a couple times too).

Basically we are looking at getting a chopper into somewhere preferably with a hut where we could base ourselves from, and fly camp from there weather dependant.. We both haven't hunted these furry creatures before, so are more interested in seeing a few as opposed to bagging a trophy buck.

If anyone has any information about where a good place to look at flying into and any other tips, that would be much appreciated. Staring into the DoC website has got me more confused than anything else with the 47 blocks to choose from.. As we will be venturing down, obviously am after a decent chance at nailing one of these creatures.

Cheers guys

Nelson
