I'm heading out on Saturday to try for some goats. Heck, one would do. I don't have heaps of time, just an afternoon so I was thinking the Remutaka hill Rd rather than further down south, since I nearly always see goats driving up there.
Should I go in near the bottom Featherston side, or park up the top? Any tips? I've not been up there before.
Identify your target beyond all doubt because you never miss (right?) and I'll be missed.
They did a big cull in there only a few months ago

The goat competition is on so look at how you can enter. There's prizes up for grabs
there are,were, a few around cross creek and the gullies
I've hunted the ones near cross creek before. Which gullies were you referring to?Quote:

Good on ya. Where abouts did u end up going in? Last time I went for a wander around there the only animals i saw were right down close to the road where you cant shoot.
Down sw from the summit in the scrub. One by itself. Saw 3 by the road in the way home

Well done it will be good eating too
Seeing heaps by the side of the road there lately. The recent helicopter cull obviously missed a few. Funny story I have there a few years back. I was driving south about halfway up the Wairarapa side and came across a billy goat wandering down the road with a jack russell hanging off the horns by its collar. There was a queue of traffic coming down the hill following it. I stopped and jumped out. Grabbed the goat by the spare horn and managed to get it over the rail off the road all the while with the dog snapping at me and goat. Removed the dog from goat and threw it in the back of the ute. Drove up the road a bit and found a couple of vehicles parked up with a woman giving some guy a piece of her mind. Apparently, the guy had spotted the goat and released his hounds. I told him to grab his dog from the back of my ute and not to do dumb s%$# like that on a main highway again. Was a surreal scene for sure..
