    Pindone is an excellent tool in the right terrain and conditions. Pellets are generally hopeless, I'm talking proper carrot job by a skilled professional. Still needs following up with shooting for maintenance.

    Surgical precision from the Matador as usual, shot was at about 35m and should be on video once I download it from the scope.

    Nice. Best way to harvest and not spoil the meat.

    @Shearer I think what @schwen meant was, what part of the country? You're based in Tasman, are there wallabies in that area? Or do you have to travel far south? What calibre did the damage?

    My wife has family new Spy Valley, Sedan and Koromiko, are there wallabies that far north yet?

    Yeah. Sorry. No wallaby in the Tasman area as far as I know. This one was in it's normal home range of South Canterbury. 223rem was the cartridge of choice.
