Thread: Dead goats

Odd behaviour, I wonder if they were stolen domestic animals rather than the spoils of hunting?

Many moons ago I rafted the Motu. Rang the local DoC office and asked if it was worth taking a rifle down the river for goats and deer. " Yeah, there's heaps in there Go for it". For 4 days we were surrounded with the smell of thousands of decomposing goat carcasses . The entire river system honked to high hell Saw zero animals.

Asked the guy who picked us up what was the story. " Oh, DoC had a search and destroy chopper in there a couple of weeks ago. Cleaned the whole place up"

Years back I was shooting rabbits on the family farm and put the rough ones in the neighbors pig pen which they munched on happily, hours later I get a very disgruntled phone call from the neighbor who i forgot was a devout vegan who "rescued" old kunikuni pigs and feral goats, she insisted her pig doesn't eat rabbits and that I should remove the one I threw in there. I put in 5 but the pig was full by the sounds of it. Either way in hindsight, not my place to be doing things like that.

the pig was probably in raptures...far better than scabby old cabbage leaves.......
