Thanks everyone for the warm welcome! I am stoked already! Those Tahrs look absolutely wicked! Do they have their cool hide/mane by mid march? Here in Canada black bear just opened and I am getting ready for a couple mountain goat hunts in August as well as a couple sitka blacktail deer hunts in the alpine in July. But your mountains look bloody steep!

Unfortunately tahr don't have big dark coats Mid March. They will be blond then and normally aren't dark until around the rut in May.

Congrats on your awesome mountain goat, that's a dream hunt of mine. Its a bugger the BC regulations don't allow DIY or hunter hosting for us non resident "aliens". If I understand the regulations correctly we can only hunt with a guide?

you can hunt ptarmigan, grouse, snowshoe hares, ducks, geese etc without a guide. "Big game" unfortunately requires a guide, their lobby made sure of that. The hunts are epic regardless who pulls the trigger in the end...
