    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.

    well limiting with a bolt action I would argue perhaps not - well was goat culler for years I dont believe so - yes the bigger mag on some of the 223 semis are great but in terms of tipping over goats one can really only shoot so fast accurately - a good bolt action and timed shots accurately gets the job done -I would use my mag on a mob then carefull single shot with one very accurate 222 never wished for more - had seen to many guys blazing away with semis and really any better no - out of machine different of course - but no dont get sucked into the you must have a semi argument - all the goat work I ran Kaitaia and Taranaki none of us used a semi - and accuracy it takes a well worked up semi to be as good as say an A2 Sako in .222

    You may well be a much better shot than me but I changed from A to E cat mainly because I found it hard to shoot mobs of more than 10 goats with only a 10rd magazine in the old 303. At that time I was losing thousands of dollars per week in newly planted trees to goats and deer, the investment in E cat was well worth it. And agree some people thought mag dumping was pest control but most of us understood that having a semi auto does not mean you don't aim before pulling the trigger. It's not essential to have a semi I agree, but it does make pest control of larger numbers far easier when both hands are steady on the rifle between shots without needing to move the action manually. I only had bolt action centrefires and found them totally satisfactory for over 30 years before getting E cat when it became necessary.
