Good stuff, as you found out hitting Tahr is one thing, recovering another.
Bit earlier for the bulls yet, need the first winter snow to drive them down from their lofty heights and then of course coming into the rut around this time.

Myself and two sons and a two mates of the boys all heading into our South Westland tahr block last week of May. Won a block last year in the ballot but DOC failed to allocate the block to me so gave me my pick of the blocks and the week of my choice for this years ballot blocks.

Looking forward to another great week on the tahr weather permitting of course. Always see lots of animals each day in the block we have but as usual those big bulls can often be seen but still very allusive to get. Then again sometimes they can pop up a few hundred metres from camp, just got to ready at any time.
