jigsaw 11,865 Posted April 21, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 21, 2014 thanks pat666,the moocher the goats are completely ferral,hated by all that work the land in that region.the keeper was right,they are stinking,the nanny and kids arent too bad except for the ticks,the problem with the seat belt situation is if you got more than 1,i hand pulled the 2 sunday with the gun around my back on a sling.hard feckin work. sussex,I butcher them immediately this time of year as the temperature is high and the flies are starting to show up so straight into the freezer.In the winter if its real cold i leave them hanging as long as I can,usually a week or 10 days.

wicklapaul 2 Posted April 22, 2014 Report Share Posted April 22, 2014 Very good thread, you should be writing for a magazine or something, some people are paying up to £300 to shoot goats in the UK, that's what I love about Ireland it's still mostly free hunting, Love to mince my goats noting like curried goat, Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jigsaw 11,865 Posted April 22, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 22, 2014 your right there is nothing like curried goat ....unless you like eating shit, i dont think the magazines have gone that low and desperate for my kind of intimate detail,lol.......theres not enough shooting here for running a sporting weekend for folk,they'd be all but wiped out in no time if pressure was put on them goats like that.

I have to keep hold of him until I walk past them, its bloody night mare as he pull you over easy Quote Link to post Share on other sites

air gun ant 1,666 Posted April 23, 2014 Report Share Posted April 23, 2014 Love reading about your goat excursions lol you've got some scenery around there aswell! Lovely but I wouldn't fancy dragging anything to far around that! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jigsaw 11,865 Posted April 24, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 24, 2014 AGA i couldnt have it on my conscience to shoot something and not use it.It would be a terrible sin to just dump an animal.......any animal that could be processed and eaten either by dogs or hunter.I once spent 5 hrs getting 5 big billys down from the hill,my son was cussin and swearing but I wouldnt leave them behind,my thoughts were ''WELL IF I SHOT EM THEN I GET EM BACK'' I was sore for a few days after that but I didnt regret it one bit this was the day in question,hot day heavy billys 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
