Yeah. The best deal seems to be Reloaders Supplies. $30/100. Ive got 250 and will get some more. I think my mate @Brian has about a thousand. They are what he and our other wallaby mate use solely on wallaby and bunnies and the odd deer and they are just fine. Good cheap option.

16 months later and @Brian has just bought another 1,000.
We have just come back from a 563 wallaby trip but no bunny shooting.

It’s a big cost to some of these farms, you can see why poison is used. Was working down there last week and the bunny numbers were unreal.

Unfortunately poison isn't the whole answer either though, one bad application and the little buggers learn to avoid it. Happened up our way, the material for some reason didn't do the job and the kill rate was way under spec. Subsequent application returned even less, still have a problem out those ways. Shooting is troublesome as very flat open ground, close to busy roads, sensitive areas and housing and there aren't many other options left after that.
