Cattle are feral when they are 3 feet behind you and "cross"
Funny thread and out of all of it toby hit the nail on the cows head.True story while in the Waiwapas which tahr knows well we got clouded out so decided to walk down the track towards Pihiatua halfway down the track we noticed a cow pat and also a stag print next to it so we decided we had time to kill so we followd this is still on doc land.Then the track became real well maintained and opend up care of this beefy by know we were around 7 kms from the ute then we could hear the odd crash so we slowed down and crept along the track and stopped!.After listening for a minute we heard crunch crunch crunch and just up on the bank around 10m away this beefy was having a munch he then spotted us and froze,both myself and my mate froze aswell because he was easily pushing 800kgs ad he was staring us down, we noticed no ear tag and looked at each other thinking the same thing:ORLY:while still pointing our rifles at him incase he charged us we then conceded we were to far from the ute!!!!!.Any closer he would have been smoked no question..........no eartag or visable branding and on doc land eating his way thru the forest!!!!! he's free game IMO.Just a funny but true story really he was just two fucking big to butcher:thumbsup:
If you were getting near to Priest's bush on Kelly's there used to be quite a few genuine wild cattle down there, although most of them were in Kelly's scrub and not the public stuff. I meat hunted around there and was often dodging around them.
Wouldn't have shot one though because for one thing I didn't like to leave any evidence of my presence. :)
They are all gone now. The new owner has rounded them up and shot what they couldn't get to the yards.
yea I know to far from the ute the buggers:ORLY:
You mean the shanks? :D
well i wipped the back steaks of a 600kg + fresian bull that i had to shoot and it wasnt great. their is a reason they go straight into mcdonalds burgers... cant imagine a feral would be flash
I have a few un tagged cattle if someone snotted them over I would be feral.
My personal take on this that you are full of shit...reason #1: If DoC had issued you a permit to hunt feral cattle, then the terms and conditions would have been spelt out to you on it...reason #2: You have made no further comment on the subject.
There is enough problems with hunters trying to get access to hunting areas without pricks like you winding people up.
I wouldn't believe that old prick Dundee. That bloody old rustler has been eying a herd of cattle beasts that are free grazing and roaming the forest up the back and wondering if he opened all the gates between there and his crush whether he could then whip the ear tags off.
Be due to having a dangling bag full of testosterone. Generally eating beef are steers if male.
didnt mention it being tough kiwisnapper.... it was the taste...
was also chilled for 4 days in the fridge
thought i better try it once as it seems a waste chucking them in the hole
This is quite a feral beast imo, what methane control!!!!

I shot a cow across the lake years ago. I was with a Butcher mate at the time. We quartered the animal, this was on a Saturday. Les commented at the time that it was in good nick. Anyway the following Thursday after it had been hanging in his chiller we cut it up. I must admit I was quite excited to be getting all of this beef after living off Pork and Venison for so many years. The meat was horrible and very gamy, Les reckoned it was because of the tucker it was living on, even the mince wasn't that palatable. The animal would of been miles from the nearest farm or forestry as the crow flies, and as it was going to eat me at the time I put a couple of 303 shots into it. Talk about exciting stuff.
Looks as though Phillip has thrown down a challenge Gibo
