Thread: Tahr hunting after the culling

For what its worth - I was talking with the Twizel DOC guys in mid November. They reckoned the the highest Tahr numbers were close to the Mt Cook village as the helo cullers were not allowed to operate there due to the potential to upset the loopies. Thney were happy for foot shooters to go where-ever permits would allow (so the streams immediately adjacent to the village). Give them a ring, have a chat, treat them decently and they will help you out to the best of their ability. They told me that the control of the cull operation taken out of their hands and that it was run from Wellington - great

You can also get an idea of things by looking at the DOC cull maps on their website.
