I was tinkering round the Place today & the Cook informed me that there was a mob of Goats enjoying the Feed that we're putting out for our sheep. I laughed & told her they were probably sheep but right up on the tree line ! She insisted I come out & have a look & on doing so I realised ,they were indeed  Stinking Thieving Goats! It was a Job for the #4 & 180gn PMC !!!!!! in a Half hour from the first couple of shots,ending with them taking off through a steep gourge ,I accounted for 9 of the hay stealing Bastards ! Plus one fox who decided to try & get out of Dodge real fast ,but made the mistake of stopping to look over his shoulder!!!!!!!! Thing was this was in a Paddock not more than 300mtrs from our house ! & then up through scrub & over into the back blocks of our place!

There is nothing like a bit of goat bashing eh dave. I still have not used my 303 on the goats, I am always reaching for my 243 with 75 grain sierra hollow points Thumbs%20Up

I will take the lithgow and a few chargers worth of 150 grain taipans with me next time I go goat bashing. It will be interesting to see how I go with iron sights on the old girl.
But the winters coming,

And the snow will cover tracks,

And I'll be watching,

Because I'm hunting you

Sweet I wish We had Ferral goats to shoot here. all we have is Nutria Rats out in the Mearsh. and they frown on Big Bore to shoot them with... Most time they want you to use steel shot ...like your Duck hunting or some thing....

PETA ! Aren't trying to earn a living through out a drought ! Then again how much water do you need to grow Lentals?????? I used the .303 due to sheer Magazine capacity HM, Normally it's the Hornet ,Swift or .243 or even the .22!    I brought home one half grown Nanny as a eater ,the rest are just fertilizer !

You don't have to justify using a 303 to me mate, some blokes I go shooting with tag the mongrel things across valleys out near Bathurst with a 338 lapua mag or 308 heavy barrel at ranges of up to 1000m!

I just want to use the 303 because I can!

Damn I have a heap of fun with those blokes as well.

It's bloody disgusting!! The mindless slaughter of innocent animals just to gratify your primeveal urge to kill things.  YOU SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF YOURSELVES. TARGETS ARE FINE YOU DON'T HARM ANYTHING !!!! YOU LOT NEVER HEARD OF CONSERVATION?? WHALES ARE ENDANGERED AS ARE MOST OF THE LARGE GAME ANIMALS SO YOU GO BLASTING POOR GOATS WHO ARE TRYING TO EKE A LIVING OUT OF THE WILDERNESS.

I actually want to try some whale meat, I think it will go good and I dont have a problem if the Japs, Norwegians or Icelandics want to knock a few whales for a feed as long as it is sustainable. That and I am pro whaling to spite the anti's.

And goats are noting more than feral pests tony, which must be exterminated in whatever method that works, the things are like flys. You actually can't shoot goats on a lot of properties now because the cockies are rounding the things up and live exporting them to the middle east, they are absolutely mad for the things over there.

WHALE MEAT???? YOU BLOODY HEATHEN !!! THE MINKE WHALES ARE SO FEW IN NUMBERS NOW THEY AREN'T SUSTAINABLE. THATS WHY THERE WAS A MORITORIUM ON WHALING THAT THE ICELANDICS NOW CHOOSE TO IGNORE.  AS FOR THE GOATS AT LEAST THEY ARE USED FOR FOOD NOT JUST BUTCHERED AND LEFT IN THE SUN TO ROT!!!!

MATE !!!!!! I SAID GOATS NOT BLOODY WHALES ! I reserve the right to destroy any Feral that wanders on to our land ! Normally my Brother catches goats as they are worth more than sheep at the moment but there is a problem with the Abattoirs & their not accepting any goats at the moment, due to several cases of Malta disease.

    Personally on the issue of Whaling I'm dead against  it!  It serves no real commercial purpose any more I have no quarms  with  the small villages in places like Norway ect that rely on whale meat as a main stay of Food or the  Inuits ,who hunt for food  things like Seals ,Whales ect ! But as for the JAPs ? No their just plundering for the sake of profit !
