Thread: North Island Wallabies

North Island Wallabies are the Darma Wallaby and are much smaller than the South Island Variety.

I used to get regularly asked to cull them them on a Landcorp farm near Rotoma in the 1980's.

We hunted evenings until dark, took a break for a couple of hours then spotlighted until the early hours

Was easy to get a hundred or more in a night working as a two man team.

One with a 222 and one with a 12ga.

Tried to get back onto the Farm recently but got told to bugger off, Farm policy is no shooting.

Seems times have changed some what.

Shame really as the do make good eating and good Pets.

Cheers
Pete
