you're right that its a top cape on that tahr. it's all about hunting at the right time of year to get a tahr with his mane in premium condition. i agree its probably tekapo. i've hunted new zealand twice and its definitely on the eastern side of the Southern Alps.
It depends on if there's snow. If it's snowy and you're hunting high, I'd choose white. If it's green, go with green or green variations. Remember that tahr look down for their predators; they rarely look up, so if you're above them, you're pretty well home free.
Congratsulations i hope you liked our accent =] and nice the camo ild prefer would be a cream snow top and bottom and you dont need some high teck stuff you just need good aim and a good gun =]
G'day - Bring a good set of lungs and legs. Probably more important to make sure your gear is warm than camo'd, the weather in the Alps can change pretty quick. Enjoy your trip.

To the person narrating this video that called the Tahr a sheep:
The Himalayan Tahr (Hemitragus jemlahicus) (or Himalayan Thar) is a large ungulate related to the wild goat.

The tahr was shot on the South Island in the New Zealand Alps - about 1/2 hour chopper ride from the highway.

I'm hunting Tahr on the south island in June. What gear, specifically camo, do you recommend bringing along for New Zealand? Thanks
