Since the start of the National Goat Hunting Competition we've had over 1484 wild goats removed across the motu.

Excellent start!

The South Island is sitting on top of the un-official battle of the islands with 897 wild goats, the North Island having 587. (North Island needs to step up its game)

The Dunedin Hunting & Fishing store has received a whopping 391 tails, with one person entering 347, putting themselves in a fantastic position to win a major spot prize in the Great Goat Roundup category.

It's great to see that the competition has taken off as it has, and that its helping reduce wild goat numbers.

But there's still loads more to do and to be fair, at this stage, we could be doing a lot better.

So, if you're a hunter make sure you get out there and hunt some wild goats! There's loads of prizes to be won, $50,000 worth and you only need to enter one tail to be in to win!

Good weather for frogs,found one on my window in the dark.

There's no ribbiting from our native frogs 🐸

New Zealand's frogs do not croak or make loud mating calls like other frogs.

Instead, they find each other by using visual cues or through pheromones (chemical signals between animals).
