    Four minute Tahr meat hunt

    Only managed to grab snippets of footage of this walk, but made something out of it

    Handy area. Gets hunted a bit. Plenty of animals to chase around though.

    Fit? Haha. The most unfit I have been in my life.

    Didn't wear putties/gators because it was 25-30+ °C, hotter in the sun. Lucky I wasn't nude actually it was so hot.

    Yes - the synthetic Putties that I have are like a bloody plastic bag wrapped around your lower leg/ankle !!
    I use the top of old socks (ex long Gumboot ones) with the foot part cut off - stops debris but they do roll up a tad - also keep the socks clean from Hook Grass - my biggest hate this time of year with hairy legs
    Always been temped to shave my legs - but would dread to think what the lads would start saying so put up with a knife scrape when back home to remove.

    I have never eaten Thar meat - which is better Thar or Chamois ??

    Thar is nearly as good as Fallow IMO, Chamois is nearly as good as rutting Billy Goat.

    That's interesting - as i would have thought (looking at the animals) that it would have been around the other way.

    I don't mind a bit of crap in my boots at this time of year. Haha. Tahr is better, a roast off this wee fella last night was delicious, as good as a nice mutton roast.

    Beats shopping in the super market better meat too. Good having those handy spots to pick up an animal or two when needed.
