SPEEDY Posted November 14, 2009 Report Share Posted November 14, 2009 I meant to put this on here when I got back the other weekend after spending 3 days hunting Boars and Goats at Bathurst but better late then never. I got there on the Friday night just as my mates finished setting up there camp, I started setting up mine as they went off for a quick spotlight. After almost an hour of waiting they came back I wondered what the hell took so long until I saw a 105-110kg Boar on the back We went for another spotlight around 1am and as we got to the back of the property we saw around 15 Fallow on the side of the hill, we decided to have a walk at sunrise and see if they were still around. I didn't get woken in the morning so when I went up I went for a walk the other direction and nailed 4 Goats at 350m :twisted: before heading back to camp. We went to get the others after breakfast, they didn't see the Deer but one of my mates did get a 65kg Sow right on the top of a bald hill. While taking photos of her I saw some Goats come out of the scrub line, a few sots latter and another 4 Goats hit the dust . My mates sow My 1st Billy of the trip As we got back to camp for lunch I spotted a mob of around 100 Goats feeding around 300m from camp, we stalked down on them and I shot 5 and two of my mates got another 5 and even my dog got one. We went out the next day with a real estate agent to test hunt a property that I'm looking at buying with a mate, we went down the back 1st to have a look at the back boundary. After 15 min or so of standing around talking I went to take a leak a at the edge of a little gully when I saw a pig go running up the hill, two very fast shots latter he was on the ground with two holes in him. We went around the front/side of the place after that and hit two mobs of Goats with about 30 hitting the ground, we went back for a spotlight that night and saw another 20 or so Fallow. The next day we we shot some more Goats on our property and had a long lunch, we went to the top of a hill that afternoon just on dusk where I climbed to the top of a hill while my mates stayed and watched a crop, I heard shots below me and as I listened in a mob of billies came out of nowhere. Once they got clear of where my mates were they stopped and I nailed a monster Billy and then proceeded to nailed another 6 top billies. The big Billy (it was dark by the time I dragged him down the hill and I only had my phone so the pic's not good, but he went very close to 40" :twisted: ) We packed up the next day and went home, but all in all it was one of our best trips, I got one Boar and 25 Goats but all up we got 3 Pigs and 60 Goats and one very very unfortunate cat (300win mag at 40m :twisted: ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SPEEDY Posted November 14, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 14, 2009 Could you please explain the term "twisted" is it to do with the horns on the goats? I cut it from another forum that I wrote it on and the "twisted" was a smiley that evidently doesn't work on this forum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cooter Posted November 18, 2009 Report Share Posted November 18, 2009 Nice work there Speedy. I did a few days on feral goats in the hills of South island New Zealand a few years ago. The damage the goats do there is incomprehensible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
