About this hunt
We have guided on the Mighty Tahr since 1993 and have earned aa reputation of getting our clients stunning Trophy Tahr. On the private properties that we have access to, you will see plenty of Bull Tahr every day. The properties are only a short drive away from the lodge. This hunt is on a spot and stalk basis. We base out of our lodge for the duration of the hunt and carry packed lunches for the Tahr hunt days. For the very best Tahr capes we recommend that you hunt Tahr from late April onwards. They are in the rut from the beginning of May until the end of June.
