    My neigbour used to spend a lot of time in and around the Mount Cook area as part of the mountain rescue crew. Just prior to my first trip on Tahr we were having a beer or 6 and pointed out that you will see heaps and can shoot quite a few but you may very well not be able to retreive them. In his words, have a bloody good luck at where it might end up before pulling the trigger.

    I also agree with what others have said, use the rifle that you normally use and are used to, within reason of course regarding the calibre
