Winter Tahr hunting in New Zealand

Jurgen and Kim head into a familiar spot to hunt Himalayan tahr. The snow is thick and the force of the wind is strong.

Why no sleeping mat? Some great camera shots in this video.

A little toughness can save alot of weight sometimes haha

[@Australian.Hunting.Backcountry]

Another great video mate. I’ve been loving my SG pack too.

[@hardantlerhunting9691]

Two thumbs up mate 😊

[@moonbrothers9098]

Awesome video cheers dude.

[@spoonheadmusic]

Excellent video, great pairing with the music but I had to pause at 13:52 to ask why you don't use a suppressor. It will save your hearing as well as Kim's. I wouldn't be without mine!

[@strider_media]

Ive used a suppressor my entire life and the unfortunate truth is that they still damage your hearing, you just less inclined to pit in hearing protection. So pretty much recently I've been working on the theory that if it doesn't have a suppressor I will remember to put in hearing protection.

[@spoonheadmusic]

@@strider_media fair enough. Yeah I've been considering getting some electronic ear plugs so that I can just leave them in the whole time that I hunt. My hearing has taken a bit too much damage from music so I need to look after it too.

[@tylerranes9391]

What pack are you repping?

[@strider_media]

Weight wise I'm honestly couldn't say. Around 18-21kg more than likely

[@gettosurfer]

How do Tahr and Chamois rate as table fare? What parts are always eaten?

[@strider_media]

Good man! Tahr is really its own kind of thing. Like beef crossed with lamb I like to say. Chamoisis alot like venison. Backstraps as always are the best. Gotta try it mate!

[@gettosurfer]

@@strider_media Got to get there first! Lol. It's in the works but will be a few years.

[@denisrichardson3260]

leave them alone

[@strider_media]

Hey it'd be great to have a discussion, my Instagram is strider_media. Many nuances to the subject of hunting and id love to share my perspective too.

[@spoonheadmusic]

@denisrichardson3260 do you realise that Tahr are considered a pest by many in NZ? The government spends big $$ every year to shoot/cull them from helicopters to keep their numbers down.

[@claphamboysoutdoor]

Nice vid and nice bull. May I ask, what happened to the skis? ⛷️

[@strider_media]

Another tale for another time I recon
