Thread: Tahr hunt

@JoshC, when you guys are crossing the river, what are you wearing there, booties of some kind? Like dive boots?

Hey mate, nah just our normal boots. Managed to keep feet dry for the first day. Once they're wet though you just charge on through the rivers

That looked like difficult conditions to film in.

I haven't shot many mate, only 5 or 6 bulls now, by choice. All are in the 12-13 range, except my first which was 11.5. Biggest is a hair over 13. I shot and couldn't retrieve a very good bull a couple of years ago, he was well over 13 inches and had awesome spread. Got to within 15 metres of him, but the fall from his perch was a sheer cliff about 3-400 metres high. No goat is worth dying for. If he'd fallen a couple of metres to the left and missed his perch, we'd have got to him. So gutting. I'd even pictured him on my wall lol.

Conditions ok, just got to be picky about when you pull the camera out. My camera has died and been brought back to life by the fire 3 times now.

Cheers. Ah just a Canon SX60hs and a tripod. Always use a tripod
