Thread: Which calibre for tahr?

They are beautifully adapted to their environment. You need to see them to believe how they can scoot across rock walls, leap onto ledges and plough through snow. They are wonderful animals in my book. I really respect them.

They almost seem trusting to me, like they never imagine that we are going to shoot at them or harm them. Especially the young bulls and female groups.
But the good bulls don’t get to be big without also being smart. They are smart enough to mostly avoid me, anyway.

But mainly its the environment and where they hang out that makes them so challenging.

My experience is that any sensible deer calibre is adequate out to reasonable ranges. Really, the only way that you could improve your 7-08 for them is by cleaning its barrel every now and then.
