    All the ones I've seen have been out during the day. It won't be like the YouTube videos where guys are bowling over dozens on paddocks at night, just the odd animal here and there in the bush. Not hard to hunt and something a bit different for this Northlander.

    Hi Chris,
    As above there are heaps of wallabies out there, lake okataina has plenty, with the chance of a deer. I was out last Saturday and ran into 3 in an hour span, all in the day time. Was training dog for deer so wasn't keen on shooting them. PM me and can let you know where else for deer.

    Thanks mate, the odd animal here and there sounds great to me!

    Thanks Nik, I appreciate it! I'm going to head to the area around Lake Okataina this weekend and see what's around.

    I'm also going to PM you!
