Himalayan Tahr hunts.
Hunting is spot and stalk, the terrain is mountainous but not daunting, a reasonable level of physical fitness is required. March through to November is the time to hunt tahr. This is the period the bulls are in winter coat. The full mane of the winter cape is one of the real stand out features of the bull tahr. The tahr rut is through late May, June and into July. This period is the prime time to hunt bull tahr, the bulls are with the female groups and are very active. This is also the period that the tahr capes are in their winter prime condition. Spring is also a great time to hunt tahr. The winter capes are good through to October, the bulls are active, and we have great tahr hunting country on the dryer eastern side of the Southern Alps that allows good tahr hunting during the spring months. |

"I learn many things about hunting. Very friendly guides and they help with my additional hobby. Taking photos.
Reasonable price, Very unique experience. Very good." Keishin 2019
"Impressed with the friendly, helpful guides since I have never been on this kind of trip. Would reccommend to any prospective hunters, even some older ones. The guides were super knowledgeable and went out of there way to help" John Aged 76 2018
"I would reccommend Simon and Cam from Wild Places as safety conscious, well prepared guides. As a female in a traditionally male dominated sport I found Simon and Cam completely professional. We hired Wild Places to give Grandad his bucket list experience and our expectations were well and truly met" Tracey 2018
"We had an awesome experience with WPWG. Simon and his family were great hosts and the food was lovely. Being new to pig hunting we were not sure what to expect, working with dogs proved to be a fantastic experience and we would reccommend it to anyone visiting the area. (it was good to see a bit of NZ's wilder side!) Errol and Mel 2018
"Hospitality was excellent. Hunting was machine! Scenery was out of this world. Love to come back again. Don't want to go home. " Brendon, Red Stag Hunt 2018
"An opportunity to not just hunt, but to stick a huge boar was not going to be passed up. If your looking for an adrenaline filled action packed time then this is the thing for you. One week on and I'm still grinning." Brendon, Pig Hunt 2017
"Great experience, extremely well catered for. Excellent understanding of how to tailor trips to individuals experience and fitness level. Cheers" Wendy 2019, 2020, 2021
