 Red Stag, Fallow, Chital / Axis, Javan Rusa Deer Hunts
Southern Queensland Concession
Our free range deer hunting concession in Southern Queensland has been established specifically for the purpose of conducting stag hunts. High seats, improved pastures and a fully renovated cabin complement the excellent herds of deer naturally populating the property.
Located just 1.5 hours drive from Brisbane domestic or international air terminals, the concession is in an ideal location to cater for the travelling hunter.
Formerly a cattle grazing property, it has not been hunted for the past twenty years. This has allowed the naturally occurring deer herds to build up to their current healthy numbers.
With the cattle removed, the pastures have regenerated, thus attracting more deer from neighbouring properties. Hunts are conducted between January and September, with the premium rut time being in April.
The fully renovated cabin has been paneled and tastefully decorated with the hunter in mind.

Sambar stag hunts
Victorian concession
Usually found in the thickest of bushland and forests, Sambar is a challenging hunt for even the most experienced of deer hunters.
Sambar stags are hunted in the state of Victoria between April and October each year. They are hunted in the region known as East Gippsland, which has mountainous terrain covered in thick bush. Hunting is conducted by glassing and stalking and by maintaining a watch on the scrapes and wallows frequented by sambar stags.
Bow, rifle and blackpowder hunters are welcome to join us on a sambar stag hunt.
Due to the difficulty involved in Sambar deer hunting, a trophy is not guaranteed in the free range environment, and we encourage our clients to select only very well antlered stags for their trophy.
It is important to be aware that at least a moderate degree of fitness is required when hunting Sambar. The hunt involves a substantial amount of hiking in hilly country, often through thick bushland.
An eight day package rate includes pick up and return to Melbourne by road, six days hunting, all food and beverages, comfortable tented accommodation, professional guide service, weapons and ammunition (if required), caping and salting of the trophy, and delivery to a local taxidermist. It does not include tanning or taxidermy fees.

Javan Rusa, Moluccan Rusa, Blackbuck Antelope & Dingo Hunts
North Queensland Concession
Moluccan & Javan Rusa hunts are conducted in the far north of Queensland, on the vast Cape York peninsula. Our exclusive hunting concessions are lightly hunted, producing magnificent trophies. The best trophies are available during the rut, which extends between June and September. Accommodation is cabin based, with full amenities.
Also available on this concession are Blackbuck Antelope.
Dingo are available on both our North and Central Queensland hunting concessions. They are hunted for a trophy fee only when our clients are hunting deer. Dingo are a major predator of deer and domestic livestock, so every one that is eliminated is a boost to local graziers and landowners.
