I had a few days spare to hunt and decided to try a late spring - early summer Tahr hunt. The weather was poor with a lot of wind and rain, but it did clear for a full day.
The full day I hunted I saw 100+ Tahr and a group of 8 mature bulls early in the morning.
After waiting all day for the bulls to again feed down lower in the valley I managed to get close (450 yards) and take the biggest of the group. A nice mature bull of about 10 years old.
The area I hunted is an old high country station (ranch) but is now conservation land with the sheep removed. Now the government is trying to remove at least some of the tahr too.
