Thread: Pet wallaby.

Wallaby around Rotorua are a smaller different critter to the ones in Canty and about half the size. I hunted them regularly from 1964 onwards and have seen bugger all expansion of their territory since that time. This variety was almost extinct in Australia and there were many captured and exported to Australia a few years back, to re stock over there. Mostly nocturnal, but sometimes come out to graze in raiuny dull weather. Eyes dull red in the light and they don't hold for long in the beam. Mostly we used 303 ball ammo for instant clean kill with bugger all meat damage, rather than .22. .22 is not effective unless head shot or unless you shoot in the hip bone and then club them.
