Maps from 2021 tahr surveys
DOC are publishing maps showing areas where large groups of tahr have recently been observed during aerial surveys in popular hunting areas.
These observations were recorded over late Summer and Autumn 2021 as part of tahr population surveys in the South Rakaia/Rangitata and Gammack Two Thumb management units, east of the Southern Alps.
The maps are available here.
Tahr sightings and maps for hunters
DOC are also publishing maps to show where tahr have been controlled during the 2022-2022 control operations. The maps also show where mature bull tahr outside the National Parks were sighted and may prove useful to tahr hunters planning their next trip. The maps are
available here.
