Dama Wallabies were first introduced to New Zealand on Kawau Island in the 1870s and around the southern end of Lake Okareka (Rotorua) in 1912. They soon extended their range to the north and east, and were first recorded in the Waikato region during the 1950s. Nowadays they have a strong foothold in the Waikato and Bay of Plenty and are classified as Containment Pest Animals. In other words - your are doing the environment a favour by hunting these animals. I do enjoy this hobby and love to bring the meat home for food.Wallaby meat is very tender, with subtle flavour lending itself to diverse styles of preparation. It is very low in cholesterol and very low in fat, perfect for the health conscious. Wallaby meat has a mild game flavour and can be used as an alternative to veal or chicken. The tenderness and flavour of wallaby meat is best enhanced when lightly cooked – overcooking results in the meat drying out. Hunting Dama Wallabies in New Zealand by Stephan Neff
