    I have never hunted around Welly Dougie. I have hunted around the front of lake Wairarapa but I think it was on private land. I have spent a while doing waro in the Ruahine's. I have never seen so many deer in such a small area. They are in piss easy areas to hunt as well. I could give you some areas to have a look.
    Most would say a .22 is a bit light for goats but it is all I had when I was young fella and I shot plenty with one. I still get the odd deer with my .22 when I am out and about.

    Sounds awesome, I'd appreciate it. I think I'd need someone to come with me though as I'm not sure what to do with a goat once I got one! I've mastered gutting and skinning a rabbit but what state does the butcher expect the goat in, or is it easy enough for me to just take what I want and leave the rest?

    Sorry Dougie, the only goats I chase now are the Himalayan ones. If you ever get down the West Coast way I could show you were to get out for a deer or cham. There should be a Welly member keen to show you the ropes. Hang around a while and you will get some offers.

    Yeh it is definitely the Dougie effect that is bringing them in. I guess it may be hard for you to live with Dougie but you will just have to get used to the fact your marketing campaign has worked.
