- This is a wilderness hunt based form a tent camp. Sometimes, depending on weather and fitness levels you will spike camp.
- You can make it a tahr/chamois combo (and most hunters do).
- The best tahr and chamois hunting in New Zealand is during the rut in May through June. If you’d like a chamois with a summer skin, you should hunt mid-January through March.
- You’ll focus on finding a mature bull in the 8-10 year age class. The bull tahr have big capes and horns in the 11-14″ class.
- The helicopter will land at a basic campsite where tents are used as accommodation. You’ll then day hunt the surrounding area on foot with your guide.
- Tahr and chamois can be found in good to moderate numbers depending on the area and can often be found in close proximity to each other. Red deer and other species are best hunted on private land.

I did a wilderness back country hunt in the Southern Alps of New Zealand for tahr. It was an amazing adventure and Joseph is a world-class guy and hunter.
