Leica Pro Hunter Philippe Jaeger and Per Agerlund Jacobsen went hunting for tahr in the Godley River Valley in New Zealand’s Alps. Dirt, gravel, rain and even snow are constant companions and the animals can usually only be detected from a great distance. After five days of hunting (including eight hours of stalking per day in extremely difficult terrain), the two hunters finally got lucky.

 
Interesting video. The "red camo" didn't seem to be an issue.

Thanks greatly! I'm leaving for the holidays so won't be around until 8 December. If that works I'll be appreciative. Address is Mason Reid, 1504 Driftwood Drive, Bozeman, MT 59715.

Sir, I think I have been writing to you about the purchase of the HK 639 rifle under an email "Tt Jake." If this is you, then I am truly interested. I am just trying to verify identify. Tt Jake is asking for a cash transaction. No disrespect intended, Just trying to verify who I am talking to. Thank you. Respectfully. Dan

Hey my friend, I am returning to SA for a Cape Buffalo hunt in June 26. My outfitter has suggested Highveld but I have read some poor reports. Wondering how satisfied you were with your mounts from them? Thanks in advance.
