With ASJ Trophy Hunting you can hunt year round for Tahr and Chamois.  The most exciting and challenging time to hunt for deer is during the 'rut'.

There may be snow during May/June/July and August which makes it easier for tracking especially as the deer look for good feed during this time.

This is also the time when the Tahr have their best winter coats.  Their long blonde manes make for impressive trophies.
