Thread: First Tahr hunt - Rangitata advice

Hi @Pav, I spent 4 days up at Forest Creek last week - happy to provide you some intel.

We flew in (for the first time) with Malcolm from Station Air, he is a legend and if you can spare the $ I’d fully recommend it.

There were plenty of animals around and a few in the high 11” bracket, but didn’t see anything much over 12” (based on judging via a spotter- so for what it’s worth!). Shot a 12” plus a couple of 11”s. They are mobbed up and are very blonde, the larger bulls still have a darker back.

Here’s a pick from last week FYI


Feel free to PM me for more info if you want it.
