    If I could find more I'd eat more.
    I've noosed them out of trees at night, run them into 7 wire fences (they can't get through the bottom 3 wires) shotguned them, 22lr them but all North of Auckland haven't seen that many South, none I've had access too.
    I love em. Right up there with pidgin, hare and goat (and possum now I've finally tried one) not as good as pheasant or quail, but better than rabbit which I'm not to fussed on but eat.
    Never anything fancy, roasted or cooked over open fire/charcoal bbq. Mmmn now I'm hungry.

    Hell no, even a 22lr has to be in the right spot to drop a wallaby, a .22 spud gun is only ever going to wound them....but.....my FAL application is in, so fingers crossed I'll be dropping the wallabies that are eating our veggies in the not to distant future 👍🏻

    There's a couple of pics I've seen of wallabies being very dead from a .25 air rifle, that have been shot in the right spot.
    Spud gun is a new derogatory description, I've not heard before.
    Rather amusing.

    Hmm, I stand corrected but maybe that extra bit of calibre and good anatomical knowledge AND good gun skills make a difference! I have been considering a larger calibre air rifle for around home......

    My son visited so we got out for a quick hunt and bagged a couple of rabbits. I filmed him using the Sytong XS03-35LRF thermal monocular.

    That's pushing a 12G, good spoting though. What are the Binos?

    A slow night tonight. Was told ‘heaps of hares about….’ Thinking they might be day time hares seeking the sun…

    No regrets going out though.
