Metanoia Ventures has donated an incredible 6-day/7-night Himalayan bull Tahr hunt for two hunters.
Offering backcountry Tahr hunts based out of the western side of the main mountain region of the South Island. Hunting amongst pristine mountain hunting terrain, from Tussock basins through to sub alpine forests.
These hunts run for 7-days and are lot of fun living in the hills and hunting the monarchs of the mountain, the majestic bull tahr, a true free-range adventure.
The tahr have three color phases: blonde in summer, a beautiful dark coat in winter, and a mix of both colors in spring.
The most sought-after coat is their winter coat that they hold from April till August.
They are one of the only species, apart from the African lion, that has a mane. Tahr are the ultimate mountain big game animal in the Southern Alps.
The hunts involve lots of hiking and glassing and planning; spotting a bull is only the beginning of the adventure.
Other game you might see are chamois and red stags that occasionally roam the same country in places.
Included in the hunt are trophy fees for these, accommodations at an exclusive hunting lodge with spacious bedrooms and fully equipped bathrooms, excellent cuisine, hearty breakfasts, trophy prep, and transportation to/from Queenstown Airport. Additional hunters are welcome at $4500/hunter and observers for $250/person per day.
Not included are gun permits, ammunition, insurance, alcohol, taxidermy, export documentation, crating, and shipping of trophies, taxes, and levies on exporting of trophies, personal travel and/or medical insurance, additional helicopter use, if needed, is a separate cost, and extra days.
This hunt may be upgraded to include additional species from the current price list and can be taken during the 2023 or 2024 season.
Hunt may be taken with a rifle or bow.
HSCF thanks Metanoia Ventures for this donation.
