Okay hi, I'm Lucy. I grew up on a farm in Tasmania and I've been shooting since I was 13 and hunting since I was 14. I moved to NZ two years ago and work in electronics repair, and I'll soonish be starting training to be a prison gua- sorry, I mean a "corrections officer". My ultimate goal is to buy a big piece of land and have a cattle farm like my dad did. On our farm in Tasmania we had a serious wallaby problem and a culling license but because we couldn't use semi automatics the only thing that worked for culling was loading six guys up on the back of a ute and rolling through the paddocks like an Al Queda death squad in a technical trying to pop wallabies from all sides with bolt actions. It was stupid dangerous and stupid fun.

I think gas piston is superior to direct impingement.
I think .300 blackout is a novelty and 7.62x39 is superior in every way because you don't need uber fancy subsonic handloads in a country with unregulated suppressors. Fight me.
I think Simonov would be stoked on my bubba SKS even though it can't hit largest side of barn
A shotgun with slugs is my favourite thing to shoot
A Barrett .50 Cal is my dream gun
I think wallaby mince and venison mince mixed 50/50 and cooked in to spaghetti bolognese is the most delicious thing in the world.

And I may or may not be a bar of soap, I cannot confirm or deny.

The two guys who've messaged me weren't realistic options so I'll give up on the newspaper ad and try some good old fashioned networking I guess.

Good to see you have a thick skin and a sense of humour. Down the middle of the south island there are quite a few wallabies bowled over in the manner you mention. I like to wrap the hind legs in smoky bacon and roast them. The networking bit works, it helps if we get to know you. Welcome aboard.
