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

A rarer trophy than a 12 point red....

Kudos to the hunter

Thats a real curla,well done.

700 hunters entered the competition, 10,000 goats were culled

Only 700? That's a poor showing considering the number of LFAO

Identify your target beyond all doubt because you never miss (right?) and I'll be missed.

not every area has access to goats.....I have to travel 3hours to get to areas that have goats...and arrange access...not feasible for something I wont eat....we do our bit on bouncy ozzie overstayers in this district.

I thought the same thing about the number of entrants, it was less than 700

But that 10k + goats shot equates to around 10k rounds of ammo sold, bought or reloaded

Average of over 14 goats per hunter. Maybe not all shooters entered the comp.
How many tails did you enter @woods223?

Gave 30 to a young fella to enter, he wasn’t having much luck an getting dis-heartened. I entered115 tails , figured that would give me a crack at winning something LOL.

Did ya get a prize?

I got $100 worth of backcountry goodies as a spot price at one of the local dropoff days. Pretty good for just popping along and having a yarn to some good buggers at the event.

Fella had a nice head there too, think it was 106 from memory.



I reckon the real number of goats shot was way over 10k. I certainly didnt get the tails off every one I shot, sometimes its just too hard !

Awesome idea I hope it becomes an annual event. A wallaby one would be good too
