Lambert River Tahr hunt 2024

Hey bro awesome video man. Was that you I met the other day in Queenstown with my family on the walking track? You were hunting chiomie

Good video ! When I was 19 years old in October, 1970, my mate and I tramped up the Wanganui Valley to Hunters Hut (the old slab hut) and then on up a newly-cut NZFS track to Blue Lookout on the tops, until we were above the Lambert River, and where we looked directly down onto the formidable Lambert Gorge. We carried rifles but saw no game. There was still lots of snow on the tops, it being October. You can order my newly-published hunting book ( RED DEER WRITING ) from any NZ bookshop, and read about our hunting and NZFS Westland adventures during the 1960s to the 1980s, including the Wanganui trips we made between 1970 and 1973.

Nice vid, Thanks for sharing. How did you find the ATC spotter up in the bigger country for assessing bulls?

The fitness required for the walking, let alone carrying the packs. Top effort!

Mean country down there, looks like challenging terrain down there 🤙🏻

Cool Clip, Well done.

Epic. Just epic

You get all that stuff in there in one flight or two?
