Thread: Advice for DIY tahr hunt for nonresident

It got me hooked on mountain hunting and I go look for mountain goats for fun now (also if I ever draw the tag it will hopefully make it easier to harvest one). I also did a DIY Barbary sheep hunt in 2018 with only 4 days to hunt since I was also visiting family and ended up harvesting one. And yeah I would definitely try to holdout for a mature bull tahr and maybe harvest a nanny or 2 for meat and hides. And I'm no expert on being in the steep stuff in winter, but I've spent a little time doing it at least enough to know one mistake can be deadly.

Country I was hunting in November for sheep. Ended up having snow crack and made me decide to turn around.

I was there a few time in November. My parents and grandparents are on the wall. I take it you've been doing the unlimited hunts. I was planning on doing them one year but as a non res it's a spendy hunt for such low odds. Although the experience would be worth it atleast once.
