Thread: trophy goat in kaimais

Bit of a reci; trip & nosy round .Back in soon nothing shot this time



Shadow even got him to cross the swing bridges, he seemed to like the area.

After reading the reports on here I thought I'd go for a wander, just got my license and no rifle yet. But I've ran down a goat before so I figured I might get lucky and needed a bit of exercise and adventure. I headed out from Franklin Road just after 5pm and explored some of the ridges before getting to the first swing bridge. I found plenty of goat trails on the steep faces, and some old shit laying around, but I didn't come across any fresh sign. There was some quite strong swirly wind though and I did get a few whiffs of them somewhere whilst walking along the river bed at a couple of different points.

When I got to the first swing bridge I was just checking out the whole scene still, and smelled something very dead and rotting. So I think stretch and his mate hit one that got away. It was a bit too funky to check for bullet holes by the time I found it. I continued up the river past the spots stretch pointed out until sunset before heading back to the car.


But anyways I had a nice little wander and a trail run on the way out. And was pleased to know there are some goats to chase in there another time. I'd always been told there were no goats in the Kaimais.

All the animals we saw, we recovered. We saw some other animals in various states of decay in the river. Makes you think twice about drinking the water.
