Funnest hunting Ive ever done

Welcome to the forum JP100. Great video. Looks a lot of fun.

Looks like you had fun alright JP. The shot at 2m.39 looks a little dodgy though - I doubt I would have taken it as the roo appears to be on the skyline with low cloud behind that?
Not trying to rain on your parade though mate :thumbsup:

Some nice shooting it that video. I know too well that terrible click and no bang.

And welcome to the forum.

Great video, thanks for posting. Have got to go and shoot some of them one day.

What's that taste like? Pork?

They seem to sit well in the light:thumbup:

Where abouts are ya shooting Jo. Round rotorua area..? I'll be keen to come out for a blast sometime mate :)

Great vid almost looked like the night shots were tracers. They are red necked wallaby wattee down South.

Nice vid JP

I hunted wallaby a lot around Rotoma during the 80's .... on a good night we could account for 100 or so with the spotlight a shotty and the Brno fox

Can't seem to get any access around there these days but I would think there are still good numbers.

I found they were very good eating too.

Cheers
Pete

Wallaby is a red meat like venison or beef and I cook it in a similar fashion

Medium rare back steaks are delicious :thumbsup:

Cheers

If you've got a good butcher near by the best sausages I've ever had were from the wallabies we shot
