    The raukumara range will hold a few. A quick Google will put you onto the access point via doc maps and hunting forums for places to go

    You can't drive the Road between Napier and Wairoa without seeing a hundred of them on the side of the road. There has to be an opportunity through there with some pissed off farmers.

    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

    Give forestry maintenance (i think) a bell and you can get a weekend permit through them for one of there blocks just tell them you are after goats and they should be able to help , costs about $20 from memory.
    Good luck

    Hard graft that. Many do a roundup and sell them. They count them as stock up there.
    The range of what we think and do is limited by what we fail to notice. And because we fail to notice that we fail to notice, there is little we can do to change; until we notice how failing to notice shapes our thoughts and deeds

    Most farmers want to muster them as its not bad cash $45 average at the moment. Also there is a market out there for pet food
