New Zealand Tahr Hunt Report by Stephen Vouch
I did a wilderness backcountry hunt in the Southern Alps of New Zealand for tahr. It was an amazing adventure and Joseph is a world-class guy and hunter.
The trip was a 7-day back country tahr hunt in New Zealand that started with a helicopter ride into the edge of the wilderness and 1 day walk into the tahr hunting area. It requires good mental and physical conditioning and willingness to handle the weather environments. Joseph has tremendous knowledge of tahr species and an incredible eye for finding them. He is a great guide, mountaineer, sherpa
, cook and an all around good guy.
We hunted hard for multiple days and got into bow range on tahr every day.
The toughest part of the hunt is getting a clean shot through the brush. Ultimately, we got it done in the last couple of days and I’m grateful we got to experience the hunt with Joseph. Would definitely recommend him if you’re looking for a backcountry wilderness hunt for tahr, and love to adventure in the mountains.

What an amazing experience!
The hunting lodge was out of this world!, Rooms, food and the scenery were all A+. Our guide was exceptional and had us on Shiras moose all five days. We saw over 30 total with at least 10 bulls. They had a plan for everything including taxidermy and game processing.
