Perhaps I am delusional but I still plan on doing one of these hunts .. one of my bucket list items...




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!

I will take your advice.. and prepare ..

The steepest mtns I have ever been in was in Azerbaijan a few years back..hunting for Tur.. incredibly steep..hard to ever rest on the side without feeling you were going to start rolling over.. views were incredible however and would do it again if given the chance..
