AUSTRALIA: is one BIG piece of real estate! Be prepared for long drive times to an from hunting areas. Most of the antlered species are found in the Southeast and Eastern part of the country. The Northern Territory (south of Darwin) is mainly for hunting Water Buffalo and Banteng. Trophy fees here are a bit less than New Zealand, but the game is just as plentiful. Here too, all the big game have been imported by early explorers.
Excellent populations of
Rusa and Sambar Deer are seen in Australia, along with Red Deer and Fallow Deer.
Beautiful scenic coast lines with world class diving areas.
Accommodations are “reasonable”.
These hunting areas are more dry than New Zealand and the hunt times are
the same (March-May). Water Buffalo
and Banteng can be hunted year around, but best timing is July, August, which is
the dry season. Good fishing and
the Northern Territory is famous for the largest Crocks in the world (salt water
Crocks can grow to 28 feet in length!). For
the adventurous bow hunter, the
central part of the country is home for good numbers of wild camels and donkeys,
all considered feral game and very small trophy fees.
