Thread: Shooting goats around Gisborne

Hi landers, welcome to the Forum.

I'm a native of Gisborne and used to do a lot of goat hunting there, mostly in pine forests that had just been planted, or just about to be. Forestry managers hate goats eating their new trees.
Grab an old skool phone book Yellow Pages (or go online I guess) and look up "Forestry services,management & consultants". See who has an office in Gisborne. Call or visit them and ask if they issue permits for goat hunting. Sometimes they only issue permits for weekends if contractors are working in the blocks. I never had to pay for a permit and had some fantastic blocks with kms of access roads and great scenery, all to myself!

Where ever you hunt, use an adequate rifle and don't leave wounded goats all over the place, it's not a good look.
