For those who were aware of my post in the hunt section you will have got a glimpse of how my first winter Tahr trip played out. Over the course of a few evenings I've been piecing together the video and then finally finished it off today.
As you will see, I had a pretty bad day on the hill when shooting my bull and we had some challenging weather but boy was it still an epic trip with some awesome up close encounters. Hope you enjoy.

Great trip and video well done both you guys. The 140 gr SST held together well. Great country with numbers of animals. What caliber were you using ?
Thanks mate, I was using my 7mm Rem MagQuote:

Neat video, big walk and two great skins. Looks like you just snuck in between wether systems too. I’ve got a couple of gear questions that I’ll PM you!
Yup - a great vid well worth watching and one that much can be learnt from, both in terms of hunting ethics and also gear. @craigc - please if possible keep the questions public, then we can all learn.
I really liked the use of the fly for a sheltered "lunch break" and am bloody annoyed I never thought of doing it myself. Carrying the fly could also be a lifesaver, I've had a couple of fairly hair-raising descents in the dark after staying "up" too late to wait out bulls, where a night under a fly till daylight might have been a safer option.
Great vid in some nice country. Two thumbs up :)
Good watch SS. Like you said the weather could have been better but at least you both secured a great skin each.
Nice vid SS ,good effort and well rewarded.Those tahr dont come easy.;)
Absolutely beautiful footage.
Your best vid yet !
Great video thanks for sharing it.
Brilliant footage :thumbsup:
Really enjoy your videos.
Another great trip and by the sounds of it a lucky weather window, also thought the fly idea was brilliant. Glad you come home with a couple of nice looking rugs a trophy in its self.
I enjoyed that video and the honesty around shooting the bull as sometimes best laid intentions don't pan out... we've all been there!
Also another one to give a thumbs up for using that fly :thumbsup: Was it a siltarp 1?
Cool vid mate, looked like an awesome trip.
Thanks for the feedback everyone! The tarp we were using was a Siltarp 1. Damn handy for a quick shelter out hunting or extending off your tent entry for a dry space to get off boots and wet gear etc.
Great watch cheers -
