About this hunt
We specialize in Tahr hunting and our guides will look over multiple bulls to find a mature age class bull. A bull grows in body size, horns and cape quality until they reach full maturity around 7-8 years. During the rut Tahr will be in larger group sizes of 15-50 animals, outside of the rut bulls will be alone or in smaller bachelor groups. Our private land hunts are based from cabins with power and running water and we have 4x4 access over the property making this a more comfortable hunt.All of our hunts are on foot and being in good physical shape will greatly increase your enjoyment and success during the hunt.This area has very good trophy potential and we take bulls in the 13"+ class every year with some bulls reaching the magic 14". The Tahr rut is May-June and this is the best time to hunt them, with beautiful skins being from mid-April through August. ALL our hunts are for free range WILD animals and we use helicopters for access ONLY. We run 100% success normally and our average bull from 2016 was 8 1/2 years old, 12.5 inches. Tahr hunts can be combined with Red Stag, Fallow and wild pigs/boar.
