Ripp, do not hesitate in undertaking a Wild and Free Tahr hunt, in NZ mate.
You just need to prepare for it, as it can be one of the toughest hunts available.
Just remember, "Legs and Lungs"!

Also please remember, I have a total of 11 seperate spinal injuries, and have hunted these same mountains , and spent around 6 weeks doing it over the years (with a local guide, PC).
I shot three Tahr and one Chamois, during this time (and missed a few also .........).
It is as much Psychological as it is Physical, so prepare more than you expect you will need to, and then some more.
You will enjoy the experience, a whole lot more.

Now, go get em Cobber!

Avagreatweekendeh!
