The Himalayan Tahr: A Majestic Game Species

Planning Your New Zealand Tahr Hunting Safari

Choosing the Ideal Hunting Season

To ensure a successful and rewarding Tahr hunting experience, it is crucial to select the ideal hunting season. In New Zealand, the Tahr hunting season typically runs from February to July, with the autumn months of March and April considered prime time for pursuing these elusive creatures. During this period, the Tahr’s coats transform into a magnificent winter color, providing excellent camouflage against the snowy landscapes.

Tahr Hunting Techniques

Spot and Stalk

Spot and stalk is a popular technique employed by Tahr hunters. It involves locating Tahr from vantage points, such as ridgelines or high ground, and then carefully maneuvering into position for a successful shot. Patience, stealth, and a keen eye are essential for this method, as Tahr have exceptional senses and can quickly detect human presence.

Alpine Hunting Strategies

Tahr hunting in the alpine regions requires exceptional physical fitness and mountaineering skills. The ability to traverse steep slopes, endure unpredictable weather conditions, and navigate challenging terrains is crucial. Our experienced guides possess extensive knowledge of the alpine environment, ensuring your safety and maximizing your chances of a successful hunt.
