Alpine hunting in high country tussock.
Tahr live in the roughest, highest country we hunt — well above the bush line, on bluffs and scree that make you earn every animal. It's a more physical hunt, and for a lot of hunters, the most rewarding. If you want alpine New Zealand at its most dramatic, this is it.
Tahr
Season
Runs from mid May to August. Best through the rutt, from May to mid July.
Terrain & what to expect
Steep, exposed, high-altitude terrain — the most physical hunt I guide. It pays to be honest with me about your fitness so I can match the route to what you can handle (see the FAQ on fitness and heli-assist).
What’s included
Inclusions are tailored to each hunt rather than one fixed package — here's what's typically part of it:
Guiding led by Tony personally, with trusted help on hand when needed
Luxury accommodation and meals at Terrace Downs Resort, Windwhistle
All in-country logistics once you land
