What is the NZHS goat club? Id probably fit right in. Really enjoy hunting and eating goat. I also enjoy cuddling them when i am not hunting. Wouldn't mind a pet goat or two.

Always a feed of cockles on offer at Papatowai

Yeah really happy to live reasonably close to the Catlins, that area is really beautiful.
Cockles at Papatowai? You mean to harvest them from the muddy sand there? I remember the air having a strong smell as I drove by. Have zero experience with fishing or collecting shellfish so will need to look up the laws. Do people just take a wee bag and dig them up?

Yeah the red hind I bumped into was MASSIVE, im more used to seeing goats and fallow. Got quite the scare, and I think she did too haha.

Thanks! And yeah I was happy to finally bump into a red in the bush even though I didn’t get her. At least I know I was doing something right.
