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.

I didn't think an experience like this was possible.
This trip, was, for me at least not just a trip, for me it was a real adventure, a real experience. I love the wilderness and this trip afforded me the opportunity to connect with the Alaskan wilderness in ways very few people do. It was an experience I will never forgot in a place I can’t wait to get back to.Oliver Fischer
The outfitter handled everything perfectly.
We were thankful that Outdoors International hooked us up with a great outfitter because they were able to find us an acceptable alternate on short notice. Overall the two year process to get this float in was seamless and worry free. Just like it should be.Thank you, Stan Masneri
What an amazing experience!
The lodge was out of this world! Our rooms, the delicious food, the incredible wildlife and the scenery were amazing. Our photo safari guide was truly exceptional and had us on animals almost constantly. We saw over 30 different species and had some incredible up close experiences. Africa is amazing!Scott Navares
