Size:  765.4 KBThese are a few photos from two trips I did in june last year.I do a annual goat cull for a farmer this was the fourth year that I have done this for they have to remove 300 goats either by mustering or shooting every year .My son was able to make it on the first trip we managed to shoot 29 goats in the 3 days we were there it almost rained the whole time we were there we did quite well for how wet it was .I then went back two weeks later with a mate the weather was a lot better we went for 4 days and were able to shot another 49 goats.The farmer was pretty happy with the effort we ended up with 45 kilos of meat that got turned into mince and sausages .There was a few we could not get to because how steep it is .We should be able to go back again this year.The snow was on they way home

    Rugged country.
    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

    That's some hard hunting alright.

    Bloody hard place for a man to make a living too.

    I've ridden my bike through there several times now.

    Overnighted at the Hotel too.

    A very friendly place to stop for the night.

    I've often wondered what the hunting would be like around there.

    Cheers
    Pete
