Thread: Tahr in August...

Hi All.... and yes this is another "where do I go hunting" thread...

So Dad and I are investigating doing a winter trip for a bull tahr skin each. We are looking at late August for no other reason than it might work out that I could also compete the Precision Rifle match at Sparrowhawk about that time as well.

What we lack at the moment is any sort of knowledge on a reasonable spot to go.

We don't mind flying in to an area. I think given the time of year and weather potential I would prefer a hut over tenting.
We don't mind east coast or west coast and the goal is a winter tahr skin not the biggest set of horns that ever existed I wouldn't mind bringing a bit of meat home as well.

Although both of us have some mountain experience neither of us are mountaineers - we'll both be taking the cameras and are more than happy to take a few photos instead of getting ourselves into terrain we are not prepared for or shooting something we can't then retrieve. Dad is coming up on 65 next year - both of us have a reasonable level of fitness.

So, to fly into a hut for tahr in middle to late August where would you recommend we go and who would you recommend we fly with?

Thanks very much! A pretty picture for attention
