Thunder HeadTahr color
I have been kicking around the prospect of doing a Tahr hunt in a couple of years. While doing some research I looked thru a lot of tahr images.
Some of the coats are just beautiful. Big blonde mane and dark chocolate bodies. In a lot of the pics the coat is not that colorful.
Whats the difference?

shanksponyTime of year mostly. they get blonder as winter goes on and the sun bleaches their hair.

30.06kingTime of year is correct. By late Winter the coats have become quite faded and overall appearance drab compared to Autumn.
Usually capes are prime through May and June which coincides with mating.
Some hunters like the faded look but personally I think prime capes are best.

Thunder HeadThanks guys,
I figured as much. To each his own. Personally ill be looking for a big blonde mane!
To me, a bull Tahr is one of the most impressive mounts there is.

All west coast bulls and to be honest I don't think they spend the same time in the sun as east coast and tend to be a little darker on average.
