    wallaby picture from kiwigunblog fb page

    For anyone who doesn't read kiwigunblog facebook page, I borrowed this image to post here. Allegedly wallabies on a farm near Rotorua (I cannot confirm). How do these numbers compare to South Island wallaby hot spots?

    I've done a bit of si wallbying and that's way worse. Mind you the bennets wallaby down south are 25 plus kg, those little damas are a bit larger than possums at least in my limited experience of them around rotorua wakatane

    That’s more like south island rabbits than roos, in terms of density.

    Because our roos are much bigger, they seem to behave differently. I’ve often seen up to a dozen or so in a cluster, but rarely more than that. Next gully over might be similar though, etc.

    Of course, don’t think I’ve spent much time chasing them on flat land like that..

    Just my experience, others will have different perspectives.

    In the Haka today in the main hot mating month of May.You might find a dozen or so in a group,or even in a big paddock of feed,10-15 but nothing like in that photo of a hundy +.The 223 barrels would melt shooting those numbers.

    The tails could be hidden by long grass but with that number it wouldn't be long for long.

    I'm skeptical because of the spacing.
