The Green party putting the CON in conservation since 2017
Know of a local farm that lets a hunter on at $20 a head for goats, he has a market north of here that he can't keep up with the demand.
Thanks for the constructive suggestions mate.
tetawa's suggestion is exactly the kind of info I am looking for.
Those are all the things I do. Just normal. For example I was out trying to get a pig on a mate's farm near Marakopa. I did shoot a pig but shot it too far back and lost it. Driving back home, I took the coastal road. Beautiful country I had never been through before. Saw some goats along the way. Hear of spots with plenty of goats. I stopped and drove up to 3 houses. Stopped and spoke to 2 or 3 farmers moving stock on the road. No luck. All of them are selling goats. They offered to sell them to me. I might have to just offer to pay them per goat to shoot on the property.
As I already mentioned, I have hunted all over NZ. Been into the absolute boondocks of the Motu a few times. Mangataphri & Hunua, farms & reserves on the Kawhia road, some of the valleys around Whakatane, Wanganui fallow blocks & some farms, Central NI many many times, Whiroino forest, Puriora Forest, Wairarapa, a farm near Tamaranui, a farm near Purangahau and another near Ekatahuna. Many farms in Taranaki and some reserves, some farms in the South Island for deer & wallabies, farms near Rotorua. I am sure there are others I have forgotten.
I have checked out most of the people who advertise hunting blocks. Things have changed a lot in the last 10 to 15 years. We used to go into Lochinvar station to Wilderness lodge. They now only operate guided hunts and groups. 10 times more expensive now. I have taken a few deer out of Tatarakina at very reasonable cost. Iwi politics and changes - I also lost the old contacts. Another economical place in Wanganui / Wai Iti has changed hands 3 times.
I didn't post here because i am lazy or stupid.
I still need to call a few old mates I haven't spoken to for a couple of years. I know of a few places near Ohakune, Ratahi, Tamaranui that used to allow hunting at a nominal rate per day.

There is plenty of goats on DOC land between Awakino and Marokopa, but make sure you know the boundaries. A lot of can be irate farmers also own bush there.
It can be a bit "dog eat dog" out there, have learnt the hard way when taking other hunters on private land hunting. Got a call from the owner a couple of weeks later to say he had just apprehended the guy that had been with me previously back there. Didn't stuff me up but made think twice now.
Sadly I couldn't agree with this more. We had a really bad case of this happen a couple of years ago with very awkward and long-term pain and ramifications for access to other blocks. I wasn't affected directly thank god but the lads that got caught got kicked out of their cushy accomodation deals on the farm and the one lost his forestry job as a direct consequence.
many are posting valid points but it has nothing to do with my request.
I asked specifically for economic options. In other words I was not asking for freebys or for private spots etc. I explained a bit and was respectful.
Accusing me of being cheeky etc. is just not on. That was plain disrespectful. How ever an open mind I keep and read that post, it is still disrespectful.
There are many here who have made respectful and constructive comments and PMs. Thanks. Much appreciated.
Tetawa, thanks for the tip on Doc land in that area. I didn't realise that there was much DOC land on the coast. Much appreciated.
Hello Muzza
I forgot that I have your email somewhere. I need to find it .....
Theres a guy out the back of eltham who sells fallow hunts at 100 each? If that helps
Thanks for the info mate. PM sent to you. Much appreciated.
For some reason some people equate a low post count with inexperience. As if how much you write on the internet has anything to do with anything except wasting time, truthfully.
If you come to the South Island Nakihunter, I have a place where you can shoot many goats. I have found you to be a gentleman on this forum and others, and in some correspondence we had years ago.
