Not all tahr hunts are steep and knarly and once choppered in you are generally in among the animals. It is the weather that plays the biggest part in how a hunt goes. I've had some good and some bad hunts even on Stewart Island for whitetails where it is almost exclusively pretty easy and pleasant bush stalking, they say keep Stewart Island for your retirement. One week on the Island was shear misery with a snow storm and bitterly cold weather sweeping right in from Antarctica.

Tahr hunts can also be the same, a few photos showing the extremes:

Jacobs block, good weather and all day sun.

Barlow block with week of snow and no sun in camp, just about the death of me, nephew got frostbite in a couple of toes.

Our kitchen

Up river from camp

Setting up to take a successful long range shot on bull tahr from camp, 300WM hit in flank enough to sit it down until nephew and super fit mate got to it where it stood up and ran down hill in a snow chute, nephew dropping it with second shot from his 7mmRM. Watched it all play out from camp.

Tahr shot just below skyline in small chute left of centre. Photo zoomed on camera,325 metre shot steeply uphill.
