Nup, just a friendly farmer or forestry owner

The only slight "problem" on farms has been that some farmers muster them and they've been worth roughly $30/head in the past. Are slaughtered and exported to the Pacific Islands I think. The reality is much of the country they inhabit is steep scrubby stuff that is damn near impossible to muster with dogs as goats have enough cunning to avoid this.

 

Goats are great fun and an ideal target species for trying out the toys. The danger can be too many for the sake of your barrel- three of us gave up counting at 100 one day.

What is the rifle you were using in the photo's and what calibre etc?

 

Cheers

East coast of the north island,place called Motu.

 

Rifle in top is Tikka 243 and next rifle is Sako 375H&H,no need for 300GR bullet on goats,but good to practice with big bore for my up coming Sambar hunt.

 

Some video of 6MM BR on goats.

Just thought, for the $30, I'll be giving up the beast just for the pleasure of being in the hills. Who needs to muster.

[Scotch_egg]

are you allowed mods in NZ?

[TOP_PREDATOR]

Yes mods are no problem here.

 

I found this shed on the weekend,hope to get back in April and find its owner.

 

Bit off topic,just got emailed few photos from Australia.
