Thread: Something different [video]

If a sheep was in a doc block with no ear tags is it legal game?

Technically I believe it's legal to shoot them, but I don't like to make a habit of shooting other people's property.

IIRC there are at least a few DOC hunting areas that are specifically listed as having feral sheep which hunters are encouraged to shoot.

I was just watching the clip and I swear I smelt the rosemary and thyme,

Nice video but I didn't see the liver & heart go into the pack ? The liver out of a nice young goat like that is some thing special but until you've tried it you would know.1st thing that I put in my pack ,fried up with a bit of bacon.Lot better than lambs fry. The hind legs are nice made into hams if you got a friendly butcher you can use.

Good call, it can cause ill feelings and may hamper your access at a later stage if you upset the neighbouring property owners. But legally deer, pigs, goats have to be both tagged and contained,so it was fair game if you did want to shoot it.

Deer, pigs, goats = Yes.
Cattle and sheep = No! not unless the legal owner consents to you doing this.

Cattle and sheep are considered to be domestic livestock; each land title has slightly different rules i.e. private, reserve, national parks etc... Basically you have to try locate the legal owner, try to impound the animals if they can be and give 28 days’ notice to try retrieve them. It’s very complicated and best avoided.

No, it’s considered livestock and you need to ask the permission of the legal owner.


Hope that helps

Cool, thanks for clarifying that

Good example Ben.

In this case I guess the ''crown'' has taken ownership of the stock and are giving permission to kill them via a hunting permit. In this example it may be an abandoned farm that has been purchased by the crown that had some stock left behind at the time?

Oh, nice video by the way Gimp. Sorry for the hijack

nice vid. nothing wrong with a bit of fresh young goat. mind you nothing wrong with escaped red deer as well

Your videos have a great minimalist style, very easy watching.

What's wrong with storing meat in plastic bags? Does it rot faster because the surface can't dry?

Enjoyed that, how long did you cook it for?

Are you guys both mutes??

Cool video though, enjoyed it.

Storing meat in plastic bags when warm will cause it to sweat and go off faster.
