BoP Wallaby...and rabbit porn

Workmate txt me up last night, he was goin out to service some gear this morning thought I'd jump on as our boys down the hill been seeing a lot of pig sign. Snuck down the track at about 6am and found a good spot to check out the face at first light.

Looking back up the hill at my hauler.

Anyway nothing showed up and the clock was ticking so I took a ridge up through the native, I knew it was going to be noisey, bloody supple jack and pungas, not to mention fucken steep. Thats the good thing about chasing wallabies in the scrub though you can make plenty of noise, they jump up when you get right onto them, run 10m and stop to look back.

This bugger would probly be the biggest buck I've shot, no more than 15m in the scrub delivered 163gr of .308hp to the shoulder "Thats for Coach Deans you bouncy little barstad." Whipped the back wheels off as the mrs has been onto me about trying it and I'm a bit curious myself.

Anyway got back to the truck, workmate still had an hour to go so figured I wouldn't waste my weekend pass so told the mate meet him at the road next ridge over. So I set off to try my hand at some LR magpies and plover in our old cut over. Epic fail.

Sitting beside the road waiting for my ride and watching a couple of bunnies chase each other round the face, nek minnit one was on top of the other an they were going at it like...well...Rabbits!! then after about 10 seconds they both just like flopped on the ground, almost looked like temporary paralysis, haha wtf is it that good for rabbits??? Gutted I didn't get the camera into video mode fast enough it was fucken hilarious!

Always shoot the female and then you get a chance at the buck while he's trying to mount the carcase!

Heres what it usually looks like from my side of the Goggles..... Just as scary!!! Guns a Ruger 96/44 ( 44 magnum) about as loud as a air rifle with the home made PVC & alloy suppressor. Loudest part is the bullet thump and the Giggle!!!!!!! We got six in that spot, just thump,thump,thump.......& so on.

Correct me if Im wrong. Its the Dama up north and the Tama around Waimate right?.

As for the set up yeh its pretty good Gen2+ & Gen3 PVS-7 Goggles. Kite night sight in not sure... either Gen2 or early EEV Gen3.
Photos are of my 15yr old son, He just thinks thats how you hunt and isn`t it that way for everyone. This trip was for some shooting practice for him with the nightscope as the rifle set up is around 11 pounds weight, Want him used to it before he starts shooting deer with it.

Not the sort of gear you buy over the counter at Hunting & Fishing or Hammils..........

On kawau island in the hauraki gulf too, lived there till I was five there was a trapping program in which they were sending them back to aussie because of the pure breed.

Every morning I get to work the tracks are just littered with their little bird feet prints.

Yep a hell of alot better than the battery & spotlight............ Been there done that... Primitive!!! That said the night gear is a bloody sight more expensive than a battery and light. Depending on the situation and how lightshy what your hunting is you probably still do quite well with the Battery and light. That scope the boy is useing would have been about $16`000 in the day when it was new.

Oh thats interesting. Had always thought they were Tama. Do know this though (don`t ask how) they make bloody great pets !!!
The kids love having a kangaroo following them around. Unfortunatly he died a few years ago. The coolest pet we have ever had.
