Thread: central otago goats

223 is perfect for them otherwise the boys are hitting them with big calibers at big ranges

.22mag works just fine n dandy...just like anything else including a .50BMG you still have to place your shots. range under 100 yards the magnum works fine.

I need to get a bigger canon and put wallaby shooting on my bucket list. Still quite amazed they have now got south of the lindis. Cheers guys.

Only for head and necks for me.

I shot one bang through the shoulder. Hit the heart. Mushroomed good and recovered from the other side of the opposing shoulder. Still ran a good way before I popped into it a few more pills.

True. Maybe I'm just used to the 223 feeling like a proper sized round. Even then they used to take a bit to fall over.

The DOC theory is that they may have had some assistance. No big numbers yet but they have shot a few.

Been 5 shot between the lindis and Cromwell in the last year

Why on earth would anyone drop them off over the river.

I have never heard of them being that popular to eat or as a trophy.

I hope not, but it certainly explains it. I hope they dont take hold in Central, land owners have enough trouble with rabbits, they dont need those things as well.
