    I think they do a lot of tree stand hunting, so as long as you can get to a seat in a blind you’ll be good to go.
    More meplat, more better.

    In England and Wales shooting deer from a moving vehicle is prohibited, the vehicle must be stationary with the engine turned off. The situation in Scotland may be different, there are a number of differences between the respective deer acts. As stated a lot of deer shooting is carried out from high seats mainly for safety reasons on this crowded little island. Where it is safe to do so stalking (hunting) on foot is common.

    If you find the right stalker you might be able to give it a go.
    So long as you don't shoot a gold medal buck it's not that expensive too.

    I respect your beliefs but don't impose them on me.

    Looks like an interesting head.

    I take it there's no public land like we have here in NZ?

    Year not mine but I've seen almost as big here in a Berkshire.
    Was at a dinner and the home owner was shouting at it as it was munching his shrubs
    His son picked it off a few weeks later.
    Was very big

    There's lots of "public land", but you're not allowed to hunt on it.

    You need dogs for pigs. As for goats, goats are goats and you've experienced Northland bush now. All the goats I've shot have been on private land. They can be shot on DOC land, but you have to ask yourself, how much effort to I put in for a goat? A hunter's paradise it is not.
