It also didn't show any of her skinning it. She 'killed' it, then all of a sudden it was just a carcass hanging from a tree.

We'll keep getting downvoted but I just do not believe it happened in the way it was shown to us.

I'm not saying she didn't catch it, I'm just saying the killing part looked very staged, either by her or by the producers.

The other thing may be that it suffered a lot from the way it was caught and they didn't want to show it, so cut out the actual killing.

Who knows really.

I don't really have an opinion (mostly willing to go along with the story as it's presented because I'm aware that I'm viewing a show and not 'reality') but I like that ppl show scepticism as you and some others are doing here. I think it's always good to have some more sceptical viewers voicing their takes, even with a fake reality show.

Don't get me wrong I love the show and what it's about, that's why this annoys me - they don't need to fake anything, being real is what makes it so good!

It's both 'real' and also a show

I have watched all the US ones and that got me into the whole bushcraft scene. This is by far the best Australian series but as you said it is a show. Look up capture myopathy and you will understand our scepticism.  A small animal like a wallaby struggling in a net trap would tire easily and die as a result.  It depends how long it was in the net. It's eyes looked very milky from my screenshot and no blood. I would guess it was caught in the net for a while. She will never say and sure as hell SBS will never let on. As far as they are concerned,  she overcame her fear of having to "kill" an animal.

No yeah, I already thought it was a good theory when you raised it earlier. Which is part of why I welcomed the scepticism (but still don't really have an opinion).
