Thread: Goats near Nelson

After many years off, I'm getting back into hunting, and training up two boys and a Viszla puppy.

We've been doing a lot of possuming on a private block out Dovedale way which everyone loved, me included.

I'm thinking it's time to dust the .243 off and see if we can get onto some goats. I figure they are going to be easier given the kids struggle to stay quiet a lot of the time (I'm sure they will get the hang of it eventually).

I know where there are always goats on the south side of Mt. Owen, but was wondering if there is anywhere closer to Nelson, on DOC land, where were might get onto some.

I'm not after anyone's secret spot, just some general pointers.

There are bound to be goats on the coastal bluffs of the area of Mt Richmond forest park up the coast from Delaware Bay, but I don't know how to get two boys and a puppy in there.

Any advice gratefully received. Thanks
