Hunting can only be conducted during the hours of daylight.
Other rules will apply at the time.
Hunters will need to have their Tahr back by 4pm on the 9th to be eligible, if you choose not to enter a Tahr you may carry on hunting the rest of the day but you must notify the Coordinator Phil Wilson.
