wallabies in waimate
Posted: Sun Aug 26, 2007 2:07 am
got back from waimte this afternoon after spending two nights and three days in the hills. spent about 3 hours on each night spotlighting but with heaps on walking planned didnt want too much of a late night
a bit frosty on the first morning
first wallaby with the 204 and possibly the largest ive shot
the bullet enters but never exits. still makes a heck of a mess
a young hunters first experience with a 204, maybe another convert
the nights harvests
a view from the hut
most of the hunting is done in heavy tussoc and matagouri and the weapon of choice is the 12 gauge and buckshot but if you can find a rest and lookout the 204 comes in handy. the longestshot i made was 314m but most were 120 to 200 m
