    The Dama or Tammar wallaby was introduced into NZ by Governor Grey way back in the day.

    Some escaped from Auckland and have slowly made their way down the north island ever since with big populations in and around Rotorua.

    I believe they are now as far south as Lochinvar Station on the Rangitikei Plains.

    We used to shoot them on a Land Corp farm near Rotoma back in the 80's as part of their pest control programme.

    A three man team, one on the spotlight, one on the shot gun, and one with a .222 could easily shoot 100 per night and often get a pig or three in the process.

    Cheers
    Pete
