New opportunity for tahr hunters

The Tahr Control Operational Plan 2021/22 lays the groundwork for hunters to play a bigger part in tahr management in future years.
We have started discussions with the Tahr Plan Implementation Liaison Group (TPILG) on what hunter-led management would look like for the tahr population within the South Rakaia/Rangitata Management Unit.
This could involve hunters managing tahr populations as well as reporting on tahr numbers and the health of ecosystems.
We are excited to see what we can achieve by working together with the group on this opportunity.
A survey undertaken in Autumn 2021 will provide valuable insights for the group to consider. The survey will give detailed information on tahr numbers in the South Rakaia/Rangitata and the Gammack/Two Thumb management units, including the gender balance of the local tahr population.
We have decided not to control tahr in the South Rakaia/Rangitata management unit over the next year, while we analyse the survey data from this popular hunting spot.
The area is accessible by vehicle, has a range of huts available and is favoured by hunters for day hunts or longer trips.
We look forward to seeing recreational and guided hunters play the major part in control efforts.
