Thread: kaweka hunting

I'm off for a goat recce tomorrow just south of the Rimutaka hill, near Cross Creek. From a phone call while both looking at google maps, my hunting bud down south reckons there might be some prime country for the things.

Fingers crossed, apparently goats are good for newbies as they hang around in big ugly mobs and are pretty slow on the uptake. A bit like soldiers really....

Sweet, sounds good. I've done a few weeks up in the Kaimanawa ranges with the army, got spooked by a few pigs out in the dark and even saw a kiwi!!

Cheers EBs, I'll probably just look for sign to see if anything even exsists up there, I'm taking the boy too so no doubt he'd scare anything off. I'm trying to teach him to be a bit more stealthy and not just chase stuff!
