While I am working hard getting fields in order and doing everything else that comes with spring time in Ag, my son jumped on a plane with his Uncle to go on an adventure of a lifetime in New Zealand. I don't have details yet but I just got this photo texted to me. Not bad for a 13 year old!

Tahr are an interesting critter. Had a navy buddy that did a hunt to NZ and he got one. Makes a really cool mount

That’s outstanding.
I’ve spent a decent amount of time on South Island. It’s one of my favorite places in the world. Good for him - how cool to have that opportunity at his age.

Awesome, how do you top that. Hopefully he had the chance to try a little fishing while he’s there

So, I received a bit more info through text. Apparently, they spotted the bull a ways out. My son and the guide snuck in using some bushes for cover. He had to setup and wait about 10 minutes for the Tahr to clear some scrub brush. The tahr started walking and my son had a window between some bushes. Didn't hesitate. 160 yards, 7-08 rifle, high shoulder shot. Dropped him in his tracks. 11 year old bull. Guide says its the best bull they have killed this season so far. I'm pretty proud.

You should be proud. His smile says it all and I absolutely LOVE this pic!
