Not that we count roos and wallaby's but thousands of those pricks too haha

Those Murray cod sound awesome. I love bowfishing, but we mainly target Koi-carp her in NZ



This is my brother and old man who is now over 70yrs old. The bowfishing has allowed us to enjoy some great days out together as a family, as it can be done from a boat or by a slow paced walk along the river/lake edges.

It's only just occurring to me how lucky we are to have such a variety of game to hunt in NZ. Aussie has its share of game as well and I'm looking forward to going back there to do some more hunting (my oldest brother lives in Sydney) in the near future.
