Thread: Tahr trip 2014

Hey Guys,
10 days ago I went on my first Tahr hunt. I'd been wanting to hunt Tahr and Chamios for years. Being a North Islander with young kids who works too much this has proved difficult to do.

My Dad had some time off coming up and although he more of a game bird hunter than a deer stalker he suggested we organise a trip together along with his mate who does a bit of guiding.

We had an awesome trip in an amazing place. I shot a mature 12" bull tahr (7-8 years) and a younger 10.5" bull tahr (3-4years). It was supposed to have be a good place for Chamois but we never saw any.

On the day we were due to fly out the weather turned to crap and we ended up spending another 2 nights waiting for the chopper.

I'll definitely be doing this again. Although I will need a better sleeping bag for next time

I made a but of a slide show of the trip. Enjoy...
