Ladies Tahr Hunt

The ladies who attended the First Annual South Island Ladies Hunt had such an amazing and empowering time they all left saying "when's the next one??".  So we've put together another all-women hunting trip, this time tahr hunting near Mount Cook.

18 spots are open for female NZDA members to assemble on the shores of Lake Pukaki just south of beautiful Mount Cook for a weekend of tahr hunting, food and fun.  Well-trained hunting dogs are allowed to come too with prior notice.

Trip accommodation is the shearers quarters at Ferintosh Station and we will have access to cross private land into the public hunting Ruataniwha Conservation Area.  We will have blocks and maps organised for safe hunting and hopefully take advantage of "low-vember" when the tahr come a bit lower to feed.
