[QUOTE="fordy, post: 2702520, member: 120504"] Gday Now this is what I’m talking about Yep you get it I gave up with bergers due to erratic results The need to secure quickly & preferable on the spot is ever so important with tahr & chamois to a lesser extent also west or east coast also a little bearing Elkhuntr247 What area are you going ? Are you going with a guide as they will sort you out no doubt if solo I made a few mistakes of looking high as most of the good billies were not up on top shot placement is part of the equation & study their anatomy with that time of the year the mains on billies are starting to fill out a bit so placement is a touch back from the summer ones I say just aim far leg if you can see it Potentially you will stretch your barrel & watch those winds but most shots are under 500 ( once again the area you go will dictate this a bit ) some of my longest shots & I’ll put my longest for reference in here which was 1232 meters on tahr but I will admit I missed 2 shots prior to working out the wind & I can’t emphasise enough practice & practice @ weird angles along with a few offhand shots as they are also a possibility so great to be prepared just incase Overall may is a pretty good time to go as the boys are getting starting to get a little amorous but not full on Wishing you the best I’ll never hunt tahr country again but so many good memories & if you’d like any other info just ask & hopefully I can help I love tahr hunting man it’s cool & shot one or two 😜 Cheers [/QUOTE]
