    Question Recommendations for West Coast chopper tahr trip in Nov

    Hi team, looking for some recommendations for chopper pilot/company/area for a Tahr trip off the West Coast in November. Looking to level up from my East coast weekend trips to date and try bag myself a big old bull

    Factors to consider:
    - trip targeted for first weekend of November (they come down lower about then?)
    - obviously want to keep $ down but will likely be 3 people in hunting party so longer flight is doable (ballpark cost would be great)
    - keen to go for 4-5 days (3-4 nights) - have got all the camping gear
    - all hunters are fit and pretty well experienced - dont mind some big days/steep climbs

    Any guidance would be epic. Cheers
