    Yep but you would need a window between you and them while in transport! Our windscreen wipers on the inside and wearing of a rain coat while driving spitting as a defence mechanism god sure was nuts when he invented this one

    I wonder how they would go in the roar, would some second rate stag try to round them up

    I reckon they are the next thar. Let a few go into the southern alps and let them breed for a bit. Start hunting them and evolution will change them from the dumb arses they are now into a cunning quarry. Let some Emu's go into the lowland bush to replace the moas.

    Every time I drive past some in a farm paddock I wonder what they taste like. I am also puzzled as to how may extra neck chops you would get on one on them things ....? I do love slow cooked neck chops

    There are llama tours run out of hanmer springs. Tuck the lead rope through your belt and they follow along like a horse. Tour isn't aimed at hunters but I imagine it's the same as dogs, start them on a suppressed 22 before letting a braked 30cal + off beside them

    Same number of chops just a bit bigger, giraffes only have 7 vertebrae. Now there is a serious neck chop, would need a bigger slow cooker

    There are some Alpacas just down the road Stug. Will they do you?
    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    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

    Actually @Rushy I would prefer pack goats but I can't really see DoC being keen on wandering Arthurs Pass with 4 goats in tow!
