Went for a walk up to the Ellis hut in the Kahurangi over the weekend and was surprised to see a mob of feral goats well above the bush line up in the snow.
Anyone else seen these "alpine ferals" before?

HaHa. You know me better than that @Pengy. Quarter that distance is a long way for me.Quote:

Ok. First time I have come across them well above the bush line.
Seen plenty well above the bush line
I was ready to be outrageously impressed at your shooting ability when I clicked on this
Sorry to disappoint @MikeB.Quote:
