was surfing you tube. tahr hunting came up. one of my ultimate goals is to take a bull tahr with a trad bow. so has anyone done it? pics.
From what I've read about tahr, I'l tip my hat to anyone who has...
Mark Kimber has done both the "Mountain Double" with a recurve he made himself.
Also a number of kiwi bowhunters have done this with Traditional gear. I'll see if I can find some pics of Mark.

I saw a TBM article where the author and friends shot some chamois and if Im not mistaken tahr as well.They are impressive and make a real nice mount.
It seems like maybe Don Thomas had taken one?
I watched a "sportsman" channel when the Tahr was spotted and a helicopter flew the hunter to the mountain top adjacent to it. he then crawled downa nd rifle shot the tahr. That would be a feat with a bow and an ultimate witha bow. Neat animals
There was an article in TBM in 2004 on a Kiwi(Kevin Lowe) that hunted thar and chamois and ended with several chamois.
Check out the NZ Bowhuters Asscoiation and poke around and you'll get a bit more info.
I heard of bill baker going over,I dont know what the outcome was?
heading over this year myself
cheers pat
Bill was after Chamios and sent an arrow of one's back and came back empty handed. Kevin Lowe is a fine hunter and has put some animals on the ground. Best of luck Pat.
