Matt, i have to hand it to you.... Your videos have a cinematic quality very few RUclipsrs can manage. Scenes, soundtracks, subjects... All delivered in a relaxed, informative, enjoyable format, with a touch of humor. *Chef's kiss*
Matt ive been watching you for over 10 years now and it makes me so happy to finally see you come to New Zealand, welcome and i hope you have a great time!
A few people use the skins for different things. My grandparents used to sell the skins back in the 40’s to the 60’s from the 80’s they were only paying very little for them & from the early 90’s the skin buyers didn’t want them anymore that’s here in Tasmania. So now it’s only craft people who are using them it’s a shame because they are a good skin if dried out well 👍🏼 I eat a lot of wallabies really nice meat very little fat most of the year nice & tender 👌🏻
@wearefarmersusafor food 🤷🏻♂️to eat it’s beautiful meat no chemicals in it free range! Our farm dogs get a good supply of meat. Plus there’s millions around they eat more grass than cattle & after you pay your $30 for a wallaby permit you can hunt them all year round. We got another 58 on Tuesday night & took 49 home to use. Don’t knock it until you try some You have no idea on what you’re missing 👍🏼
NZ does have native mamals. The short tail Bat (nearly flightless) and the long tail Bat. Also there are marine mamals - Seals, Sea Lions and Elephant Seals.
@wearefarmersusa Definitely not useful. Wallabies are native to Australia but as an introduced species in NZ, they have no predators so breed uncontrollably. They ravage the fauna leading to erosion, and compete with domestic animals such as sheep for food.
Great video as always, keep up the excellent work! Sorry to be a pedant, but New Zealand does have 3 indigenous mammals, three species of bats: the long-tailed, short-tailed and lesser short-tailed!
Hallo daar 'Boeta' .... Greetings from Christchurch .... Originally from Durbanville ( 1996 to NZ ) Thanks for a Great vidclip, as Always .... :-) :-) :-) Trust that you had a good time with Family and Friends here in ChCh . .... Mooi Bly, Groot Groete .... Cheers ....
Damn, I wish Canada let us hunt with sound suppressors. When a .300WM rings out through the mountains, everyone and everything hears it... Such a shame to spook campers and the sort.
Awesome video Matt, this is next level hunting these wallabies 👍🏼I dread to think how many are all over those hills behind you if you see that many just from that spot you were in.
It's nice to see Matt and Nicole topping wallabies as a change from vervets, baboons and dassies! We have wallabies, pigs, possums, mustelids and other invasives introduced by an asinine Acclimatisation Society from 19th C until the 1920s. It's a pity you can't drop the wallabies off to your farm workers as they'd equal dassies for eatability!
Good eats apparently 😋 we met a Scottish guy who lived in NZ and he lives in a shack out in the wild. he made his own flintlock and matchlock and with bushcraft he lived on deer and whatever he could gather. Don't know if he's still alive but he reckons that you can fix most things with no8 fence wire👍
You need too move to NZ it’s one of the most amazing countries in the world I’m sure the hunting over there would keep you busy the air gun scene is non existent from what I remember but nearly everyone is into hunting or fishing
Wallabies are incredibly good at spotting movement. I've played "Giant's Treasure" with them on a beach, and approached to within 6m. I'm rather conflicted as an Australian, watching you hunt them, because they are very much protected over here. I keep expecting NPWS to pop up with a, "Oi! Wot's going on 'ere?"
The South Island is a wonderful place for sure, but it was a total shock for me when there to find it was devoid of native mammals (apart from a couple of bats) nice to see there is still a concerted effort to protect the natural flora and fauna from all the invasive species we thought were a good idea to introduce at the time, and it certainly makes for good content! Hope your over for the British Shooting Show again this year, will be good to catch up? ;)
Yeah I have to admit the damage we might have done in the past is painful - both to native animals and the people that actually lived there before we rocked up and decided to make things 'better'. We as in English/British. Meanwhile - Ring Necked Parakeets are now seen everyday in north Newcastle, Red Squirrels in England are just about holding on.
@@Simon_Nonymous Yeah, you should reject CRT as it is toxic against whites. Be aware that no people are perfect. The Maori committed genocide upon the people that preceded themselves in the Chatham Islands of NZ. They were the Moriori people.
@@Simon_Nonymous It is an unfortunate consequence of our "not knowing at the time" that has riddled the planet with misplaced creatures of all types, back then it was probably inconceivable that such things could have such a devastating effect, and even more recently with the so called "animal rights" crowd setting free mink from farms, what a disaster that was! Parakeets are now on the pest list, so hopefully can be kept to controllable numbers, but I fear it is irreversible for the poor old Red squirrel, especially in England, even though there have been several success stories dotted around. Don't even get me started on the domestic cat? :(
U harvest any feral felines? I’m in SE US and trapped over 300 cats in less than 5 years on postage stamp property in town. Caught 2-3 a day the first month then dwindles to 2-3 a week now 2-3 every few months. Most did make it to a local rescue…but even there every one was so feral they were put down. Squirrels now have bushy tails and first chipmunk I saw in 7 years followed my car down the street…not a joke. Turns out a group on FB had been releasing them in my poor neighborhood from their posh neighborhood. Now I’m know as the Bastard of Rome, GA on FB but they don’t know who I am..yet
Matt your an inspiration, your shooting is awesome, I've been watching your antics in South Africa and the States for quite a while brilliant informative and educational videos I wish i was rich and could buy your kinda kit lol . Question for you tho on the latest New Zealand vid Who picks up the carcasses ??? Are they left to just rot into the soil ? I'm not being critical mate I'm just curious Cheers and good hunting . Take care KT

Hawks get a free feed and nature gets its nutrients back.
It's so surreal to me that I have done this hunting before you Matt but not in my native land. Gotta go revisit my mate in Enzud very soon I think! Did any Spaniard Grass stab you or Nicole? Nasty stuff!
Matt, i have to hand it to you.... Your videos have a cinematic quality very few RUclipsrs can manage. Scenes, soundtracks, subjects... All delivered in a relaxed, informative, enjoyable format, with a touch of humor. *Chef's kiss*
His over landing channel is even more cinematically spectacular!
It was a total pleasure taking you two out to explore with me. Come back soon!!
Subscribed to you mate. Even though you're a fireman and I am an ex cop ;-)
@@Simon_Nonymous haha thanks lad!
Hey mate, has that tikka had some kind of magazine upgrade? or is that how it came? Cheers for the great content
@logansmith3502 well spotted. I fitted the tikka CTR bottom metal and standard 10 round mag. It's a thing of beauty
My 22 air rifle kicks like a lot more than you think it
2 Saffa's and a Kiwi go hunting Wallabies sounds like the start of a rugby joke😂 great shooting team.
*AirArmsHuntingSA* Bravo well done, thank-you for taking the time to bring us along. GOD Bless.
Can you please make a video on a mod version of the 🇨🇭 Swiss Arms TG-1
Matt ive been watching you for over 10 years now and it makes me so happy to finally see you come to New Zealand, welcome and i hope you have a great time!
Welcome to New Zealand... Been watching for years and HERE you are. Excellent video as always
Great video I got 54 wallaby’s last night using the Thermal on my 17hmr there nice eating too 👍🏼
Are the skins/hides any use? Good to hear they are nice for the pot!

Good job
It's good to see a hunter who enjoys sharing his hunting with others as much as doing the hunting himself
OMG, here is one of my favorite U tube dudes and here is right here in NZ! Awesome vid too
So much fun, what a beautiful environment. Great marksman Matt !
I can’t tell you how happy I am that you came to
Nz I’m a africaaner that moved here when I was young and I’m absolutely in love with the place
Fantastic video, NZ is definateley on my bucket list now, looks like great sport. well done Matt!
That looked like SO much fun!! You could hear the thump of the 6mm doing its job.
Wow, the efforts you put into a video is nothing less than amazing. Thank you
Thanks for taking us along 🍀👍🏻. Greetings from Germany
Heaven on earth..... Wonderful Place...
Awesome hunt and great video buddy! Nice work to you and your wife 😊
Hey guys, thanks for the work! Appreciate you both getting rid of some of our problem animals.
NZ does have native mamals. The short tail Bat (nearly flightless) and the long tail Bat. Also there are marine mamals - Seals, Sea Lions and Elephant Seals.
Great hunt. You had lots of fun. 😊😊😊
Another excellent video and some lovely clean shots 😎
Just appreciating how far matt has grown and come with life and this channel congrats. Gives me motivation for the future.
You always have the best looking rifles, the stock looks incredible. The land looks like a movie set...(Lord of the Rings)
Awesome shooting and video
The stock is made by Precision Platforms here in NZ. His carbon models are top notch
Thats a BIG can! 😆 Good video as always! Cheers from Sweden!
Great enjoyable hunt and my wife always enjoys getting to see Nicole taking her successful shots!
What an exciting hunt . I have a 6 Creedmoor but never have I had anything like that hunting. Congratulations.
stunning cinematic work. looking forward for the neat episode.
Incredible place!
Awesome to see you enjoying our beautiful country! And dealing with some pesky Aussies.
South Africa and NZ are definitely on my bucket list of places to visit.
See you when you get here, I'll put the kettle on.
Both are fantastic places to visit!! Both beautiful and varied in their unique ways and both absolutely chucked full of wonderful people!
@wearefarmersusa Definitely not useful. Wallabies are native to Australia but as an introduced species in NZ, they have no predators so breed uncontrollably. They ravage the fauna leading to erosion, and compete with domestic animals such as sheep for food.
@wearefarmersusauseful for what?
@wearefarmersusathey are a pest and they make good food for wild pigs and grass.
Very cool Matt. What an adventure with great shooting.
Go Nichole well done Matt thanks awsome vid
I NEEDED this video today as I sat checking engineering docs all day at my desk 😅; excellent video, mate!
Great video as always, keep up the excellent work! Sorry to be a pedant, but New Zealand does have 3 indigenous mammals, three species of bats: the long-tailed, short-tailed and lesser short-tailed!
When we eventually visit from England, I'll bring my bat caller identifier. Love the little flying mice!

Awsum video Matt🤙everybody got a piece of the pie
seems a step up in housing from a OxWagon! Great video.
Nice bro ❤ they also have pigs and other feral stuff you can get. Also Australia has similar problems and they have camels to hunt
And water buffalo 😊
Nice job. Thanks for the great filming!
Keep it up and enjoy!
Fantastic marksmanship. Thank you for sharing this video.
this caliber is dominating
Thank You for posting. This video, kinda reminds me of our Rugby Union team (The Wallaby's), as they are usually also falling down. Regards JB
mr dubber vlog always amazed us😍😍😍
I hunt these most weekends here in Australia. Good old Bennetts wallaby
Hey mate. I just moved to a property with them. Just started hunting. Where's the best shot placement. Cheers from Vic

Watch me wallabies feed, mate
Watch me wallabies feed
They're a dangerous breed, mate
So watch me wallabies feed
Altogether now!
Give me my koala back Jack…..
I like your happiness enjoying this nature exercise
Excellent video! 👍❤️👍
Well narrated
I had no idea we had wallys in NZ
Muy buen video y exelente disparos y control de plagas 👍👊👌🧉🇦🇷 saludos 👍
Awesome maat, ive been watching your videos since 2015
Awesome adventure.
👍🐿👍

Damn missed the upload being out on a hunt of my own. Kickass videography as always 👌
your parents are smart
Wow great footage
6.5 sure does the job
Very nice hunting video ~
Thanks very much !!💘
Thank you. That was the best video of bullet trace I have seen. I was finally able to show my wife what it looks like.
Mooi - Keep the East Cape name high.
Was that a shock wave I seen 😳 coming down the hill with that round
Well done. I know that station reasonably well. we normally work the tops on ATVs.
Awesome Hunting!
You'll never get rid of those buggers now
Looks like FUN
Thought New Zealand was small, what a beautiful Place, and would like the general Lat/Long do not need seconds. Hello from Ohio !
Same size as Colorado. There are 4.5 million of us.
@@NZSikahunter good to know, would like to visit one day, but the World is a LARGE place.
@geraldblackburn488awesome hunting here and trout fishing galore.
The 87 GR V MAX is good for white tail i use it in my 243 for deer.
Just in case no one else corrects him, NZ has a native bat, which is a mammal. It also has native dolphins, which are mammals
Hey mate great video, we do have one mammal native to NZ. Drink a few more Speights and you’ll find the answer. Huru
Very good video 👍💯
The South Island is a wonderful place for sure, but it was a total shock for me when there to find it was devoid of native mammals (apart from a couple of bats) nice to see there is still a concerted effort to protect the natural flora and fauna from all the invasive species we thought were a good idea to introduce at the time, and it certainly makes for good content!

Red-Necked wallaby, yee-yee! 😂 Known for living in trailer parks, cheap beer, and fights with mama.
Very adventurous vedio
Have a good day

Question for you tho on the latest New Zealand vid
Who picks up the carcasses ???
Are they left to just rot into the soil ?
I'm not being critical mate I'm just curious
Cheers and good hunting .
Take care
KT
Hawks get a free feed and nature gets its nutrients back.
Welcome to my island
Did you eat them ?
They make great sausages and salami. Zero fat though.
Flat calm evening helped I'm sure.
The Wallabies have never had much luck in NZ
That looks so fun.
How about a video of the women hunters of South Africa ? you could have Nicole and Maggie v be the hosts
Another amazing video!
Great video as always!
Such a lovely place for hunting ❤👌
Come along and monitor the excitement of my boss... always have the spirit of success, my boss...
It's so surreal to me that I have done this hunting before you Matt but not in my native land. Gotta go revisit my mate in Enzud very soon I think! Did any Spaniard Grass stab you or Nicole? Nasty stuff!
Yes the spaniard grass got us😂
Where are you from then? Aussie? Come on over for some fush n chups. Forget the Eski,we have chilley bins. And no laughing when we say deck.
Great shot ❤
Chur Chur Matt!
Nice shot 👍💯
That whole setup does look ideal for the ranges and target. Very nice setup. Really impressive equipment.
Felt like I was on an adventure with you.
Welcome to NZ my Bru.
Well done!!💥💥💪💪👍
