Thread: Wet wallabys and other questions.

Watch your dogs feet. It’s not summer but a mates dog was down to all pads bleeding within hours.

Lots of good advice there...A long time ago when employed by the South Canterbury Wallaby Board we organized a lot of roo drives
for different groups,NZDA etc. The biggest danger was guys getting out of line and lagging behind.
Roos that cut back behind these lines would be shot at by the guys lagging behind resulting in cross fire situations at times,not great.
Those new to drives had a bad habit of swinging onto a moving roo with all there focus locked only on the target,finger on trigger,following through and then letting strip...forgetting there may be someone where that roo is headed. I've seen two young guys end up on their backs being whacked by shotgun wounds,,bloody scary.
I was that close to being shot myself on one occasion from a .270 pill hitting less than half a mtr above my head.
The fool that did that was on the far side of the gully opposite. He later told me all was good as he could see me in his scope as well as the roo..he was in charge of the NZDA drive that day.
That was my last time helping out and trying to teach the young ones on roo drives.
Common sense and learn to stay cool and focused at all times when doing a drive eh.
