    Forum member @jakewire and I went for a tahr hunt a couple of days ago, it was successful, here is a very short film. He may share some photos, because I didn't film much.

    First Tahr was shot from the bottom of the photo and it was up in about 2 thirds of the way up the bluff in front. After the first shot more popped out as you can see in the vid,

    Nice bit of footage Gimp. As usual your unique style really captures the environment and some of the emotions of hunting.
