I used to run the goat control out of Kaitaia - one of my hunters got a cracker 44 inch head North Eastern end of Ratea forest - I saw a picture many years ago of one shot at Waima I think thats Waipoa Forest way 47 7/8 inches looked very similar style to this head - I believe it was the NZDA record and if my memory is correct scored 135 - another good one was a 44 in mate shot as a young fella at Tokomaru bay - interesting thing with all those heads - same style - must be the breed - possible some angora blood in them- those real stonker heads are rare - I have shot hundreds for work and best I ever got was 35 1/2- Taranaki has in general very poor heads
