    Hii, Dear mates.
    My name is Joshua Li. I am a creator of a charitable spearfishing club.
    We are looking for a farmland to bowhunting for goats.
    We can pay for the access into the farmland.
    If you can make a offer, please contact me on 0272812805
    Many thanks.

    that tomo job cracks me up a bit one station we did for goats the owner asked if we could at least hide bodys well we took over 800 off his back paddocks ( 5000 acre station ) walking around the ridges here would be a pile of goats with some ragwort dumped on top as camouflage

    these four took a bit more effort to get. two sperate hunts, took the left turn instead of right on second time n came home with a result. goats were in a block of pines, some which had been newly planted.. for the second time...
