About this hunt
Himalayan Tahr (Hemitragus jemlahicus) 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 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. Tahr rut is May-June We hunt Tahr on both the East and West coast of the Southern Alps. Our wilderness hunts will either use a 4x4 or helicopter to access the hunt area where will set up a tent base camp. Our wilderness hunts are physically demanding and are best suited to hunters with good mountain (sheep and goat) hunting experience. Our hunts are on foot and being in good physical shape will greatly increase your enjoyment and success during the hunt. ALL our hunts are for free range WILD animals and we use helicopters for access ONLY. We run 100% success and our average bull from 2016 was 8 1/2 years old, 12.5 inches. Tahr hunts can be combined with Chamois in our wilderness areas.
