Recreational Hunting – Deer, Duck, Pig
Australia is a vast and varied landscape with many regional differences in licensing and permits.
For example Victoria’s Duck season is March -April and Quail is April – May with deer all year. NSW has deer in April. Northern Territory has a magpie geese season too.
Whilst Qld doesn’t have specific hunting seasons like Victoria there are many options for recreational hunting on private land where you are the owner or have gained the express permission of the land-owner to hunt on the land.
In general any species that is introduced (non-native) is able to be hunted on private land. This includes wild pigs, wild dogs/dingoes, goats, feral deer, rabbits, foxes and more.
Whatever you plan on hunting Halls-O’Reilly’s have you covered -aside from the appropriate firearm and ammo we stock a range of bows, clothing, boots, knives, game-callers, range cameras, hides and more. If your recreational interest lies more in plinking with an air-rifle and a target on your hobby farm we can help you out.
ALWAYS CHECK WITH YOUR LOCAL FIREARMS DEALERS, LICENCING BODY OR SSAA FOR UP TO DATE INFORMATION REGARDING WHAT YOU CAN HUNT WHERE AND CALIBRE SPECIFICATIONS AND/OR LIMITS.
For all the details on what you can hunt, where and when please refer to the SSAA website https://ssaa.org.au/hunting/what-you-can-hunt/
