Tahr Rut Photos

[Kiwi]

I spent last week chasing rutting tahr on the West Coast of New Zealand. Friend shot his first tahr (nice 12 inch, 8 year old bull) and another friend from AZ that I took along shot two chamois and a bull with his bow. Here's a few pics of the scenery.

I'm really getting an itch to visit NZ before I'm too old.
Looks amazing
Any time of year when I could hunt and fly fish?
Thanks

Plenty of options for hunting, but don't know anything about fly fishing. I'd guess if you wanted to do both anytime in the spring - autumn would work.

If anyone is interested the cost of the chopper trip was about $US300 return per person.

That doesn't seem bad at all

Especially compared to 3 days difficult hiking to the camp site.
