    you might need to leave out some molasis coated rhody prunings for them to nibble on instead......

    It doesn't look like there is anywhere in the Hawkes Bay to check in, unless am I missing something?

    Such a great competition! I’m planning a mission to specifically target some goats. Might have to borrow my old .223 off my son. :-)

    About 1968 I took a big plastic bag of stinking goat tails into Dept. of Internal Affairs in Auckland city. "PHEW how many tails in there sonny?" I said nearly 200. "Hell I'm not counting them" He said and gave me 200 rounds of .303.

    As I'd shot most of them with a .22, man I was on a win.

    Could be one of the reasons I don't here sika squeal too good.
    now.

    This isn't the first DOC Goat hunting comp.In the 90's the O/ C of Rimutaka State Forest Park in cohoots with Swazi's Davie Hughes put together 'The Great Wild Goat Hunt' run out of Wainuiomata but open to all in the lower Nth Is with a long duration of 6 odd months.Fantastic prizes particular if you snagged 'the tagged and released'feral goat bulldogged out of a machine.So every joker is out there snotting goats,trying to nail the one with the ear tag to snapture the No.1 generous prize, might have been a quad bike?.Every man & his dog was listening out on the grape vine during those 6 months if the big one had been claimed.Heres the rub.Ol mate cunningly forgot to mention the "tag" was in fact a micro chip inserted in the ear ,and you most probably wouldn't detect it while participating in the Great Goat Hunt.Cunning as a shit house rat,so of course the top prize was never claimed.Chances are that tagged animal did get boofed,and an even higher probability that one of us goat cullers operating in that area would have been responsible.The only way to confirm that you had shot the tagged goat would have been to bring the head with ears attached in to pass it across the reader! This fact was never mentioned from the outset.What a scam! Hope this latest DOC comp is more up front

    Had a good couple of days on goats. Friday did a 5km bush hunt and got 18 goats. Took the Spaniel bitch for a walk yesterday up a local creek bed in replant forest and bit of doc. 12.3 km walk, bitch did 24km according to gps tracker. Kept coming across groups of 2-5 and one mob of 20+. Ended up with 40 down with 6 missed shots and two that needed 2 shots. Ran out of ammo but was a good day out. Tail tally of to a good start. Both taking it easy today tho.
