For å sette ting litt i perspektiv har jeg tatt ett utklipp fra en NZ side
a ' shoot on sight' label, er visstnok det samme som man her til lands har på mink og mårhund

Introduced from Australia in 1875, the red necked wallaby quickly adapted, and just as quickly would become a major pest.
The original hope, that the skins would become valuable never eventuated.
Protection was removed in 1900, and a ' shoot on sight' label, was attached to the species. Half the size of a kangaroo, the wallaby stands about one metre tall, and weighs about 15 kilograms
The point to remember is that wallaby are pests, and shooting is the best method to keep their numbers down. A night shoot involves 3 to four hours of shooting over the back part of the property. A spot-lighter joins two hunters on the back of a well equipped 4WD, and using shotguns and rifles they deal to all pests that cross their path. The weapons are complimentary and come as part of the package. The shot-gunner’s job is to clean up the running and close quarry while the rifleman takes those longer shots.

Hares, opossums, rabbits, and wallaby may also be hunted.
These species are viewed as pests so require no specific documentation to hunt.
They may be hunted during the day and the night, and there is no limit on the numbers that may be shot.
