    I drove that road a lot between 1998 and 2006 and never saw many goats, but the cullers were working that whole area pretty hard in the 90s. They got huge numbers in the Moeatoa reserve. There is a lot of private land through there that may be feeding the DOC land with goats too. When I was growing up in that area it was all about chasing pigs or possums, no-one cared about goats (except for that brief period when nannies were worth $100 each!).

    If that day didn't hook you then nothing will.
    Gibo, stretch and Tommy like this.
    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

    @Tommy you are charged with conduct to the prejudice of good hunting guest etiquette. A disciplinary hearing will be held in the forth coming days and you will be found guilty and sentenced to make good by giving Barefoot a crate of Waikato. He doesn't like Waikato and will no doubt seek counsel from me as to how he might dispose of it.
    Barefoot, stretch, Tommy and 1 others like this.

    I will try aria or taumaranui. All of the north Waikato have been culled. North auckland is booked til new years. So has pirongia. Goats are looking thin on the ground.
    heaps south of te Kuiti. when you turn left to head to taumaranui. the hill on the right at 8 mile has tons on it, go to first cow shed on the left, you will know it has steps for the cows to walk down pop in there and ask them to pop some goats off. @tetawa might even know the guy.
