Dangerous... Only if you are going to past or someone going the other way is. Impressive drops off the sides if you have someone in he car that doesn't like heightsQuote:

I can attest to the fact there are bugger all goats left up Skippers. Partly because I've shot more than my fair share over the years but mostly because I was up there a few days ago and saw bugger all. It's had a hammering over the last two or three years.
Ahhh, would have been bout 8years since I was up there with a rifleQuote:

They smelled me too which didn't help.....
Plenty of bunny sign on the river flats too just for giggles
You'll no doubt question my sanity, but there are actually wild deer at the BP roundabout in Frankton so you can save yourself a trip to the outer reaches of the planet and hunt from the comfort of the tables at BurgerKing while refilling your bottomless cup of coke from the vending machine. I kid you not. Well... I kid you not about the deer... but maybe about hunting while sitting at BurgerKing. I have (somewhat blurry) photos and video taken from the roadside adjacent to the cemetery of 4 fallow bucks which were hell-bent on jumping the main road and feasting themselves on the freshly manicured lawns of the Events Centre and Golf Course.

Had my son and I not intervened with the camera, the deer might have caused a multi-car pile-up at the intersection. That might have been fun to watch... all the tourists in a slow-motion multi-car pile up... at 20 km/hr.
Neighbours might not appreciate you wading in with your .243 though Phil... even if it's suppressed.

well, when i lived in queenstown, the go for goats was drive to Moke lake,park up right before the stream on your left just past the lake,then head into the hills in the Glenorchy direction.Used to see a heap within ten mins walk. Follow the river up and around the falls and there would be deersies at times.
And hope like hell John Foster doesn't catch you?
Or god forbid his wife.
Fear the wife! :)
Hate to tell you this Oneipete but these days Moke Lake is camper-central, full time DOC warden, $13 per night for a 3 x 3 plot of land and access to a long-drop. Sprinting across the open ground to make it to the creek before you get spotted has become significantly more difficult.
Just had a looksie on google maps.. blinkin hang, theres a heap of buildings there now. Mind you,thinking back it would be 15 yrs since i left.Wow time flies !
Never needed to run n hide back then , park at the lake and slowly head in.Had permission of the guy who owned the area but cant for the life of me remember his name.
Would have been the same sort of time, Bruce D on the left going back into the moon light, shot a lot of goats in those days.Quote:
