Thread: Tahr cull- where are we at now?

As you all know the Tahr cull was started last year under the direction of Doc and the personal agenda of Eugenie sage following controversial and contentious population surveys that was initiated by Doc.
The opposition was vast and the calls for unaccountably from various parties with interests in the Tahr herd resulted in a huge response.
The Tahr cull was suspended for various reasons as we all know.

What is happening now??

According to various sources the Tahr cull will commence again shortly

It seems to be accepted that the population is around the estimate of 35000 and that this still breaches the limits of the plan and there will be a dramatic reduction of the Tahr herd in the upcoming months.
This means it will be the intention of the cull to remove 25000 Tahr which will bring it in line with the plan.

This will be significant for the recreational hunter and the population will be at a level never seen before by many hunters of today's times.
Tahr hunting opportunities and the trophies we are seeing these days have probably never been better. Possibly a period of time that may never be repeated depending upon the outcome of this upcoming Tahr.

I would like to hear updates from Nz Tahr foundation to keep us informed??

The debate and the awareness needs to be opened up again.
