Thread: Goating around Auckland...

Access at the northern end is gone. New owners.
Lions end is hard work. Quite a few pigs but stalking without a dog in tight shit is low odds.
I was in there yesterday doing some training with a young dog. Other than pigs it took most of the day to find any sign. Pup did a good find in the end. Found a tiny but of sign amoungst some bluffs and after some pissing around found its owner.
It gets too much attention. Dog found to young fellas having a hunt and when I got back to car there was another hunter there.
If it wasn't for the bloody cullers killing all the close goats to me and needing somewhere to training an indicating dog, I wouldn't bother. Bloody Northland cullers lol I did too good a job.

If you're fit as hell you could walk to the northern end and stay in the trampers hut and hunt back. The bulk of goats on that end are in some dodgy country.
