    No, and to my knowledge the sheep farmer wasn't asked/informed.

Steep rocky riverbed so would have been tricky for them jumping up some spots. I saw 2 mobs of 3 had the cross-hairs settled on one as all I could see was black, then figured it was a cows nose not a goats!

    I am a fan of free range beef, whats the story free game? The ones i saw did have ear tags in...
    I think this is like dope patches, if you see them, don't mention it.

    The fact is some common sence applies. the above you meant to get a small game permit that covers those animals and you maybe able to use a suitable cal like a .22. If you shot a wild cat in the bush or a hare with the 308 i doubt DOC are going to complain, they prob say good job.

    North canterbury doc land has shit loads of cattle grazing it . I'm sure the intention is to muster them all out . But can see how they could be missed on occasion . Tag or no tag I personally wouldn't touch them .

    On a similar vien, was talking to a mate who has a good understanding of road law (trucker) if you hit livestock on the road you can't pick it up, but if your following someone and they do he second car can pick it up! Guess it's to stop people from purposefully hitting animals. Quite a few around these parts and have talked to council and police multiple times. Next time I find them on the road the truck bull bar is going to be tested!!

    @GSP_follower was more thinking the sheep, at 40kmph rather than a cow at 100+ there's a series of hairpins where they usually are anyway

    Use to shoot the old sheep when I was down Taranaki. They all looked like shrek the sheep. mangy looking pieces of shit. didn't want to get sick so left them for the pigs. Amazing what a 22-250 does to a skull...

    Wild cattle act a lot different from escaped farm cattle.

    I shot an old bull once that had gone bush and been there over 5-6 years.Had a go at us and was coming back for more so we fed it a 280 grain pill.No tag on it but wouldn't have stopped me if it did have one as the damn thing was def wanting us flattened. Heaps of meat on it but only my mate was keen to take the backsteaks out. He reckoned they were yuck,shoulda made em into sauages.

    Seen plenty of cattle in doc administered land in various places, i've spent most of my life working on farms in one capacity or another so I wouldn't drop any that were not trying to ventilate me but I know of a few who would without a sec thought.

    if any animal is going to try and have a go at me its getting as many pills as i can put in it!

    always wondering how the release of mountain lions or tigers would change hunting in NZ, when your not the top of the food chain things could get entertaining!
