    We tried to get permits to take shotguns in there but got turned down by DOC. Would have taken more with a shottie than able to get with a rifle.

    Will do Dundee. If I'm quick I'll get a photo before @TimeRider reduces it to an empty plate.

    Makes great salami and strong sausages that go well in curries and stews.

    Nice to hear of your venture into the Hunters gadgetman. I was lucky enough to spend 4 yrs shooting wallabys on a permanent basis back in another life,one of the best jobs you could ask for. It's great to see and hear reports of how it is nowadays.

    Had a go at these critters in the bush this afternoon. Got within 10m of one but all i saw was a glimmer of it and heard its thumping exit.
