    Yes, I don't know why the popularity of having turkeys on your farm? Noisy bastards, shit over everything, eat lots of grass, scare the horses. And most months they are inedible.

    Not sure if it's practical for you. But if you put an add in your local FB page you will have most of the goats and turkeys taken pretty quick, which save burying them.

    @tiroahunta Taking out entire mobs of goats at once is the ideal, but can be limiting with A category bolt actions. Have you applied for P for pest control? Not enough farmers are applying, but if you show significant economic and/or ecological damage and a reaosn why you need semi auto it's not hard to get provided you meet the occupational requirements.

    @tiroahunta

    What do you do with the carcasses?
    Bury them?

    Hunt safe, look after the bush & plug more pests. The greatest invention in the history of man is beer.

    A bit more bang is better.
