A chance to really get your goat
JOYCE WYLLIE
The National Wild Goat Hunting Competition is now underway. Entry is free, pre-registration is not required, and there are both local and national prizes.

Organised jointly by the Department of Conservation and NZ Deerstalkers Association (NZDA), the competition is also supported by Federated Farmers of NZ and Hunting and Fishing NZ. Targeting wild goats – to reduce damage caused to native plants and ecosystems – is a win for both hunters and conservation. People across the country can participate from 1 August to 26 November 2023.
Wild goats are breeding up and significant numbers are now a problem in many places, including Golden Bay. Goats cause damage on conservation land by destroying young trees and understory plants. They also create problems on farms by eating pasture, native plantings, damaging fences and carrying diseases that can be transferred to farm stock, like parasites and foot rot.
Goats, unlike wild deer, pigs, tahr, and chamois, are not classed as game animals, but they are good for developing hunting skills and are a handy food resource. As well as classic goat curry, the meat can be grilled, braised, and made into sausages or salami. The competition promotion states, “If we can symbiotically put food on the table, enjoy the outdoors, and promote hunter-led conservation, then everyone wins”.
This competition encourages more wild goat removal, builds relationships across sectors, and raises awareness about the impact of wild goats on farmlands, native plants, and habitats. The organisers also promote safe firearm use, keeping safe in the back country, ethical and humane hunting, and remind competitors to obtain permission before entering private or public land.
NZDA will be running “Goat Competition Hubs” throughout the country where local competitors attend to lodge tails and score horns. Golden Bay Hub days are 27 August, 15 October, and 26 November, from 1pm to 4pm, at the River Inn. Goat tails will be tallied, heads will be measured, and there are spot prizes as well.
Jo De Vos, president of Golden Bay branch NZDA says, “First and foremost, hunting is about gathering food, so when people hunt for goats, they need to make use of the meat. Young animals and nannies provide beautiful eating meat and if you hunt on a local farmer’s land, with their permission of course, you can ask if they want goat meat for farm dogs. Let’s make the most of this resource and bring home more than just tails.”
More information on how to enter the competition can be found at www.doc.govt.nz/wild-goat-hunting-competition.
Meat and Banana Stew
Graeme and Dallas Wilson left Golden Bay in 1996 to work in Tanzania with Volunteer Service Abroad (VSA). They contributed this recipe to a VSA recipe book, called Been There, Ate That!
The introduction states, “In Tanzania, it was common to use goat for this dish, but you can use beef or mutton. Traditionally this dish would be made in a sufaria, which is a Tanzanian pot, but we use a saucepan.” Why not try wild goat meat?
2-3 unripe bananas, cut into cubes.
500g or more stewing meat, cut into cubes.
1 onion, chopped.
1 medium tomato, chopped.
Salt and pepper to taste.
1 cup coconut milk/cream (optional).
In a saucepan, put meat, bananas, onion, and tomato (plus extras of your choice). Cover with water and bring gently to the boil. Simmer until meat is tender.
