    For a short stay hunting trip, you sure packed a ton of fun & nice trophies into that time frame. Very nice!
    Can you get Canadian Club over there?
    *LEAD* Still the best boolit material for huntin' & plinkin' for over 600 yrs.
    Shoot well & load better.

    A five day hunt for Chamois starts at $7,000 (worth every cent ) and the price goes up from there.

    Yes, it was a very intense five days. As for Canadian Club, no I always look for a local brew when I am abroad and I wasn't disappointed

    AWESOME video! The end looked like a shooting gallery. You gotta start posting more vids of your trips.

    Awesome stuff!

    this is a culling operation, a management tool that is required to maintain the habitat.
    Is that due to human intervention that the population is high? Like humans expanding pasture land, culling predators, providing more grain crops to eat, and so on? I think in most cases this it the cause, but I wondered if you knew.

    These Goats are descendants from goats that were taken to New Zealand during a gold rush at the Shotover River. They escaped or were released when the gold rush was over, now they live in groups and destroy the grass tussocks. They have no natural predators, no Fox, Dingo, Coyote or Wolf live in New Zealand so the population is out of control.

    the goats are feral and shouldn't be there in the first place, they, like a lot of introduced species run rampant over the landscape (think wild pigs here) stripping the vegatation down so the indigenous wildlife are left with little to forage on
    some of the Galapagos islands that were once pretty much jungles are deforested rocks due to the feral goats
