Thread: Goat shooting

Giday, any farmers within a couple hours drive of Oamaru got goats or any other large pests they want dead? I'd be happy to help out

Check out blue cliffs Timaru , theres a few farms to shoot on - get doc permit for areas

How do you get this doc permit?
I rang doc's office to ask about getting access to goats near blue cliffs and the woman told me they have no land there and she told me to try Kelcey's bush, turns out on their site that there is only the occasional goat up there.
I'm based in Christchurch but am really keen to go for goat. any good spots in the south island? anyone with land who might let us on? or even if you know someone I can ring.
Cheers

have a look around kaikoura. plenty there

What parts near Kaikoura are doc land? do you mean the seaward kaikoura range?

Just follow you nose from here, when you applty for the permit it should show you a map with green shaded bits where its ok to hunt

Hunting in the Canterbury region

Cheers big foot, I don't find the doc website overly helpful, All it can every tell you is "low to moderate numbers" in almost anywhere they would logically be. When I get a chance I'm gonna hit the seaward Kaikoura range, using other mapping systems I've found a few valleys that don't look to bad.
What I would really like is some back blocks but who and how? nobody seems to know.
I've noticed that doc conduct culling ops for goats, doesn't it seem wasteful paying someone to do it when you have people happy to get in there if pointed in the right direction.

Ring me tomorrow. I have goat spots you can have.

Cheers Nathan, long time no hear btw,
I put a lot of your advise into practice with joining the DA and bits and pieces. I'll give you a bell tomorrow.

William. If you have not already done so, have a look at this website. It shows everything that you could want

Does it show you where the goats or more interestingly 'deer' are?

It does indeed Gibo, but that feature requires a donation to the Save the Pengy fund. $100 should cover it
