    So here’s the thing. Our own cock always looks smaller to ourselves because we are looking down on the thing.
    Really, we have nothing to prove.

    At 66 I hunt the east coast now because its easier. I hunt Tahr because I like their meat, because their skins make beautiful rugs, because they live in some of the most beautiful country in world and I like the challenge of the country. To me a trophy is secondary but I will take one if it presents itself. Because I’m not chasing a trophy, I see less of them.

    I agree with everything that has been said. Tahr can be a bit silly. If I wanted a trophy, I would head to the west coast. The only thing that would probably stop me from getting one would be physical limitations. But I’m quite happy pottering around amongst them on the east coast, thank you.

    I’ve shot many of them with a .243, 308 and a 6.5x55. Any sensible calibre will do.
