Fabs.................well I have never shot a tahr yet either, but I know guys who have and they say they are tough and react much like our mountain goats.

I have shot quite a few mountain goat and guided for them a fair amount and they can be 'tough'.......by that I mean if you don't actually break the shoulders (the bullet passes through some of the shoulder muscle and the lungs but doesn't break the shoulder bones) they may just keep going and fall off a cliff.

I always try to anchor them on the spot to prevent this. If both the front shoulders were actually broken it couldn't go anywhere......only one shoulder, yes it can keep going, just not very quickly.

Goats can be rather tenacious........
