A Tahr is a large herbivore related to wild goats, characterized by its curved horns and thick fur. There are three species: the Himalayan Tahr, Nilgiri Tahr, and Arabian Tahr. The most commonly hunted is the Himalayan Tahr, found in the Himalayas of India and Nepal.
While native to the Himalayan region, Himalayan Tahrs are also found in New Zealand, where they were introduced and are now pursued as a prized game species. In their native range, hunting is often restricted, so always consult local guidelines.
Tahr offer a challenging mountain hunt in often rugged and breathtaking terrain. Their impressive horns and beautiful fur make them sought-after trophies.
Given their mountainous habitat, spot-and-stalk is the most common method. This involves glassing the mountainsides, locating a desirable Tahr, and then stalking to within shooting range.
Due to the challenging terrain and potential for long shots, a flat-shooting rifle of .270 caliber or larger is typically recommended. Sturdy boots, binoculars, and a rangefinder are also essential.
In New Zealand, Tahr can be hunted throughout the year, but the best period is from late May to August during their rut. In their native range, seasons will vary, so always check local regulations.
The altitude and rugged mountain terrain can be physically demanding. Weather can also be unpredictable, with sudden storms or fog hampering visibility.
In New Zealand, Tahr populations are considered invasive and have been subject to control measures. However, in their native range, particularly the Nilgiri Tahr, populations are endangered and hunting may be restricted.
Yes, Tahr meat is lean and flavorful, somewhat similar to wild goat or venison.
