Premier New Zealand Himalayan Tahr Hunting Adventure
This preferred outfitter offers a truly wild and authentic New Zealand Himalayan Tahr Hunt on the rugged West Coast of the South Island. When it comes to New Zealand mountain hunting, this is where their expertise shines. Thanks to decades of local knowledge, they consistently place hunters in the very best locations to pursue trophy bull tahr in some of the most dramatic alpine terrain in the Southern Alps.
Exceptional Trophy Quality & Daily Sightings
On these wilderness hunts, hunters can expect to see 30–40 bull tahr per day, with 5–10 of those being mature trophy-class bulls. A New Zealand Himalayan Tahr Hunt can be conducted year-round; however, the prime season on the West Coast runs from February through November. Peak rut activity occurs from May through early July, while bulls carry their highly sought-after winter coats from April through August, making this the ideal time for top-quality capes.
Helicopter Access & Comfortable Wilderness Camps
This New Zealand Himalayan Tahr Hunt utilizes helicopter access to reach remote alpine camps deep within the Southern Alps. The flight alone is a breathtaking experience. Once in camp, most hunting occurs within one to two hours of walking, with significant time spent glassing for mature bulls. As a result, hunters of varying fitness levels can still enjoy a highly successful and rewarding hunt.
Camp Comfort & Thoughtful Hospitality
Although this is a true wilderness experience, comfort is never overlooked. Hunters enjoy quality meals and hot beverages under a large tent fly, protected from the elements while surrounded by stunning mountain views. Evenings are spent around a warm campfire before retiring to spacious Cabela’s tents equipped with comfortable stretchers. Each morning begins with hot coffee or tea and a hearty breakfast before heading back into the mountains.
Hunt Details & Combination Opportunities
This is a 5-day / 5-night, fully guided 1×1 hunt. Additionally, hunters may combine their New Zealand Himalayan Tahr Hunt with other species such as fallow deer, alpine chamois, red stag, waterfowl, and more.
