One of my friends often jokes that I’m a “hard up hua” for eating goat. Here, for a laugh, we try eating the fillets of a 7 or 8-year old billy goat. Watch for the verdict!

When my firstborn son was 1 yr old, I made him a nice cozy beanie out of a large billy goat’s scrotum.
What you do is buy one of those toddler sized rugby balls from The Warehouse. Soak the goat scrotum in hot water and gently stretch it this way and that. It’s tougher than you think! When it is nice and pliable, stretch it over the rugby ball, pop it in the hot water cupboard, and come back a couple of days later. Trim the now perfectly sized Scrotum Hat and present it at your favourite nephew’s / grandson’s first birthday party. Bound to be a family winner!
You must get your friend to do that @bumblefoot.
BTW I really enjoyed your videos. You know that really large billy goat heads are not that far away from you, in the south Taranaki in the bush to the north of Waverley, and either side of the northern stretches of the Wanganui River. I’ve taken a few out of those areas well over 30 inches and have them on various shed walls here and there.
@Flyblown Yup there are. It seems that the areas with bigger heads often have ancient Angora genes in them. I've really enjoyed taking Beth hunting. I derived just as much satisfaction out of her scoring that billy as I did when shooting one years ago as a teenager. It's been interesting seeing the range of emotions etc taking a newbie out.
Re; the scrotum. I should have taken it out, tanned it, and made it into a change purse!
@bumblefoot enjoyed the video. Not quite what I was expecting given the thread title- I’ve recently been talking to a buddy about cooking up pāua hua so thought it might be about that. But I also love goat meat too, so I wasn’t disappointed. Like most folk that hunt for food I typically target the younger animals for meat quality, but even if I shoot an older one I’ll still take some meat. Typically the fillets on an older billy I’ll bash up & crumb as schnitzel, yum! I’m impressed your ones came out so nice- given how much they shrunk I’d have thought they’d be a bit chewy, but obviously not.
@Pixie Z We dragged the billy out and Beth used all of it for her dogs :) Except for the 2 fillets of course ;)
Good video. I think goat, especially the younger models are seriously underrated as table food.

@MB Yup; I pretty much live off it
That's cause your a bloody hardup hua! :D

She dropped in on Graham a few months later when up that way and he presented her with a purse he'd patiently put together of the patchwork.
"Is that all?" "That was a big jar."
Graham scoffed back, "Just rub it and you have a travel bag!"
A new video up on the channel. One of my favourite things to do on my self-sufficient piece of land is to feed the eels that live in my boundary stream. I only feed them once a week so they don't become reliant on the free handouts.

We do something similar just for fun.

Thats super cute and sweet, I love eels. Hope our native eel populations stay strong for generations to come.
I've been experimenting with cooking older wild goats. This goat was probably over 5-years old; an age where if it is not rutting I'd mince the meat. After taste testing the fillets and finding them to be tender and very mild, I decided to slow cook the leg. Here is the verdict about the meat tenderness
