Himalayan Tahr
The Himalayan tahr is New Zealand's premier alpine trophy — a powerful, sure-footed mountain animal that thrives on the steepest, most rugged country the high tops have to offer. A mature bull, with his flowing mane and heavy, curved horns, is one of the most coveted trophies in the Southern Hemisphere.
Hunting tahr is a true test of fitness and fieldcraft. Glassing the bluffs and rock faces for a lone bull, then closing the distance across broken alpine terrain, rewards the hunter with a trophy that carries the full weight of the mountains behind it.
Bulls of the High Tops
Lord of the Bluffs
A trophy bull tahr is defined by his dark, weather-hardened cape, long golden mane and thick, sweeping horns. Older bulls carry a presence that few animals can match, holding the highest, most inhospitable ground on the mountain.
Tahr are supremely adapted to the alpine environment, moving with ease across terrain that stops most other game. Earning a mature bull demands respect for the mountain — and delivers a trophy to match the effort.
A True Mountain Trophy
The tahr hunt is as much about the country as the animal. Long glassing sessions, careful route-finding and a steady shot on steep ground all come together in a pursuit that is unforgettable — and a cape and horns you will treasure for a lifetime.
