Thread: wallaby hunting

Hi Cavey.
First off, welcome. Wallabies - well plenty around Waimate area though the DOC areas have plenty of pressure. Look up hunting in DOC area, some stations are mentioned in the hunter hills area. Ring DOC Geraldine and ask for those station's contact details. Then ring the stations. About 6pm is a good time when most station managers will be at home for some tea.

Best time is early morning or evening. If you're not on DOC land, some stations will let you spotlight for them. You can shoot them with shotguns and 22mag on private land at night. 243 is a good caliber and a lot cheaper than a 270 for wallabies.

ex-rabbitter on here can help lots more than I can.
