If you're in a sparsely populated area (e.g. New Zealand), you could likely hunt for food for years before food security became an issue.

- toomanybeersies 9y agoTahr aren't hard to hunt if you know what you're doing. It sounds cliche, but in order to hunt a tahr, you have to think like a tahr. Once you learn their habits they're fairly easy to find and easy enough to shoot. There's really big numbers up some of the valleys too. I've seen mobs of up to 30 before, and they just tend to stand there like idiots while you're shooting at them.
