I drove that road a lot between 1998 and 2006 and never saw many goats, but the cullers were working that whole area pretty hard in the 90s. They got huge numbers in the Moeatoa reserve. There is a lot of private land through there that may be feeding the DOC land with goats too. When I was growing up in that area it was all about chasing pigs or possums, no-one cared about goats (except for that brief period when nannies were worth $100 each!).
