Winter Tahr Hunting - A Tough Old Game
Вставка
- Опубліковано 19 жов 2020
- For this hunt we set off down south head first into a wintry blast straight from the Antarctic. The plan was to spend a week exploring a catchment right at the base of the main divide of the Southern Alps in search of a mature bull tahr. During winter bull tahr grow a magnificent mane to keep them warm during the harsher months and to protect their neck whilst fighting with other bulls throughout their rutting period. This mane, combined with their hooked horns draw in hunters from around the world in search of a trophy. Watch along as we brave the elements and steep country that these animals thrive in to secure a bull worthy of the wall.

Cheers for all the comments mate! Glad you're liking the videos 🤙
A nice video guys. Thank you. I did it in my day. 1968 my best bull.
Glad you enjoyed it! What'd he measure?
Some gnarly country boys. Cool trophy bro. Real character with a crazy recovery
Cheers mate, it's a great reminder of a pretty wicked hunt!
your guys videos are awesome, think ive binged them all today
Haha cheers bro! Happy they're being enjoyed, will keep em coming!
Awesome trip and great footage, thanks for the trip and thumbs up for sure.
Awesome to watch once again boys.
Don't ya just love monkey scrub lol..... it's bad enough at anytime let alone when the mongrel stuff is frozen and loaded with snow, looks like it knocked the sweat outa yous
Hahah yeah that's got to be some of the hardest climbing we've had to do
That looked like tough country guys, well done on taking that bull! Shame about the broken horn but I guess it gives the skull a bit of a unique character. Looking forward to the next video 👍
Hes definitely not short on character that's for sure 😂 next one will be up on Wednesday the 4th 😄
Choice trip lads. That first shot looks like it got him, especially with the way he carries that front leg immediately after the shot. Bloody stoked to get up there and find him I bet, nice 👍
I'll have to have a closer look back at the footage! Couldn't believe it when Chris spotted him, huge relief. It took me on a bloody rollercoaster
I also think the 1st shot connected.
Old vid but that ledge you were walking along at 17.17 looked sketchy?, straight down if it went pear shaped.
Enjoyed the vid as always :)
That was actually a part of the walking track! Much safer than it may have looked, the bull retrieval was much scarier
Another great vid lads.
Cheers mate, glad you enjoyed
Amazing video thanks guys, great camera ideas Mitch. Am loving all your videos.
Thank you mate! Glad you're enjoying them 👌
Top job top vid great effort awesome guys 👍
Nice fellas. I have a photo of a big old one horned bull from two years ago in there, wonder if he’s the same one!?!
Crack up! Could very well be, he definitely had some age to him
Looks like the first shot was definitely low....right in front of its leg....Also WARO have been up there....by the Biv.
Yeah definite miss! Waro? They'd be after deer though aye, surely not taking tahr for meat?
Juzt curious, would you use a drone to confirm a kill to save you walking such a distance just to check?
That wouldn't be a bad idea to be honest, so long as you don't go in too early- animals spook at the first sight of a drone, you might end up pushing him further into the shit! Might come in handy if that situation happens again though, cheers!
@@southislandriflewalkers5545 Thank you for replying much appreciated. I am subscribed to several of the current top NZ hunting channels but seriously you guys are amazing! Your narration, filming, and hunting is truly best! So glad I have found you guys! 😁 Keep safe and looking forward to your future content 😁👍
@@PS-Straya_M8 thanks that's bloody awesome to hear, we're glad you're enjoying the vids!
Drones aren't allowed on conservation land without a permit
Great video is that a p1000 or 950 your using
P900, would love to get our hands on a 1000 but they're probably a bit too large to carry around!
Hey lads whats the camera your using?
We use our Nikon Coolpix p900 for the zoomed footage, a GoPro for the vlogs and scenic shots, and a Nikon D3400 for the photos 😄
Sweet cheers lads
Have watched a couple of your vids guys. Nice footage. Tho you guys need to get closer before taking shots. Bit sad to see all those badly shot animals running around. Not a good image, especialy if watched by those who do not support this sort persuit.
I see what you're saying mate, unfortunately we couldn't close the gap any further on this guy, bloody steep country up there so we were very limited as to where we could get to. As for the shot, it nailed him through the lungs, could've been a bit further forward and maybe a tad lower- took him about 25 seconds to fall. We're definitely not about seeing an animal suffer, in a perfect world we'd sack them everytime. Something we're working on though mate, cheers for the feedback.
580 meters! Seriously. Isn't that getting a bit silly when you consider the potential for wounding and problematic recovery?
In all honesty, probably a bit far. Decided to shoot cause he started climbing into some unretrievable country, we knew we could get up to where he was. Never want to see an animal suffer, haven't wounded anything since I was a young fella and I definitely want to keep it that way! Usually cap my range at ~300, easy to get a bit of confidence behind Chris's canon 😂 don't think I'll shoot at that range in a hurry again though, happy with the result this time round
Nothing wrong with longer shots in Tahr country.
Well done for your efforts.
