On a friends farm in South Canterbury NZ spotlighting for small game. Wallabies are managed in this way to help control the population and it makes for a great night out.
Good now mate reminds me of shooting with the gun club in Tassie. I only used 2.s and 3.s Used to take a couple for rissoles and butt the rest out for the guys dogs. They do have to be kept under control they take over real quick. Thanks for the video. take it easy.
no matter what type of paddock it is, seeing Wallabies get blowing away is lots fun, until ya lose........ya beard - all best for the rest of 2020 till next time Cheers Bro
its a shame to see so much meat wasted, wallabies taste great, instead of being wasted and left to rot, they should be consumed. I've eaten wallabies several time (got a couple off a station in south Canterbury whilst fallow hunting) and they tasted great, just as good as venison. Not saying that these animals don't need to be controlled, but they should be put too use. Farmers should realize their worth as an economic resource, not just a pest.
Yeah it is a shame, I agree. I’ve tried some and it had a really strong wallaby flavour but I’m sure the right animal and cook could do wonders. I just read a article yesterday about local government spending millions more to control them and doing another round of poison ☠️ So yeah have a feed mate heaps out there.
@@Muzz308 But isn't it partially your responsibility as someone who shares their hunting experiences to show these animals can be utilized? if I'm correct, you would have got 100's of kilo's of backstraps, shoulders, back leg roasts and trim of those 20 plus wallabies you shot, so why not show people how to use them?
@@nareshclark8916 You have a point. I think its good to discuss these issues and I will take your comments on board. My only "excuse" is that I try to be honest in all of my videos about the entire process. Its pretty easy to say what everyone wants to hear and by being honest it holds me accountable and shows whats actually happening.
@@Muzz308 Fair enough bro. Just give them a proper try, that's all I say. I'd recommend smoking those back legs after a 2-3 day brine (take the shank off though, save that for later) and use the rest for slow cooking dishes or mince meat, except for the backstraps, which makes good steaks. You'll end up loving them. In my opinion, when prepared correctly, they just as good as a young fallow or red.
Looked like a good laugh Muz Hawks are going to eat well. Old Jeremy is rocking a filthy beard one to envy.
Haha Yeah 😂 it’s a big ginger beast, looks great in the spotlight as well.
Good times there mate! and belated happy new years cheers ;)
Nice vid! Who was that guy at the end?

Good effort mate, let us know how the wallabies go all tanned. 👍

Definitely more work than a possum, and the tail required a bit more effort than I thought it would.
