    Im not suggesting for one second to NOT continue the strategic control....or targeting areas that are of concern.... but whacking them on head anywhere still results in dead pests....
    of have the NZDA got it wrong,completely criminally wrong with this goat thing??? and the swamp comp with mustilids???
    the wallabies got to this level they are at now because access was denied and the control was let up,the few left around allowed to breed up and spread out. I have to justify the $ spent on fuel to travel 50-100kms to go shoot a few for fun...and I do shoot a fair few each year,but no where near as many as I did when had access to private land and time on my hands.....I can spend the same $$ and go elsewhere and chase pork or venison...now if I could get that $$ back from wallabies...well I could/would chase them more,and I go into places a lot of others wont/dont and target them inside the bush as well as in the open. funny thing with wallabies..we shot much much bigger animals at night..plenty of small ones during the daytime but the bigger mature animals somehow hid from dogs untill wee small hours. Ive heard argument to not let fellas come and shoot as we have regular fellas who come and get lots/use thermal gear blah blah blah..yeah as much as dont like it I can acept that. outright shutting up an area however is wrong and shouldnt be allowed,its causing populations to expand.
