This was in New Zealand. We were going up the mountain for my Tahr when this yearling Tahr came right to me on his way up the mountain while the guide clicked away with his camera. I nicknamed him Timmy the Tahr. He stood there for a good 2-3 minutes trying to figure out what I was, working his nose, cocking his head to the side like a dog. He finally went around me on the downhill side and continued up the mountain. He never spooked and he never ran. It was once in a lifetime event! And yes, I did get my Tahr. 14.5 inches...a beauty! More pics below.

Gun's don't kill people. The Government does.
I killed eight gophers last year and a purebred Tennessee walking horse that was looking at me funny.

If you are able to remember stupid stuff the next day, your doing it wrong.

You could have at least given him a "boo" to see how high he jumped... All in all, one great experience! Would have loved to have seen it for myself!

Man, THF is so educational. I admit it; I had to google TAHR. But why didn't you shoot a Chamois?

I would say it's a once in a lifetime experience but 99.99999% of us will NEVER experience it! A lifetime memory for sure backed up with some great photos.
