Hunting in Australia
Just want to know if anybody in Australia does any hunting. I'm interested in doing it but not sure where to start.
Depends on your state.
I havent started hunting yet but ive looked into it.
Basically if you're in NSW theres a bunch of state forests where hunting is allowed. Its all outlined on the dpi website. First you have to go through licensing and prove you arent going to be a frickwit etc. Then when you're qualified you can go online to book a date and forest to hunt, set up your gps with the area limits, wear orange and go shoot pests like deer, pigs etc.
Obviously if you are going to use guns theres an extra bunch of hoops and bullshit involved to get the firearm license. Im only intending to use a bow so its simpler.
I live in South Australia. If I remember correctly I don't think that you can hunt on Crown Land and have to do it on private property. I've been practicing with a bow for a while so I'm trying to steer clear of guns.
I dont know if id be able to get into it with private property only. Very comfy if you have friends or relatives with land. Not so much if you're a nobody and would have to go around asking or paying stupid prices for rights.
That depends on what you're hunting. If it's a pest you're blasting, theyll let you hunt on crown because it's doing them a service, other shit requires you to go on private property.
It's kind of like Minnesota, then. You take classes when you mention?
> First you have to go through licensing and prove you arent going to be a frickwit etc
why is it always fat, overweight boomers posing with animals they killed on a hunting reserve? They are probably out of breath by the time they hike to the corpse to take the picture.
most hunters are deeply insecure people tbdesu
Lol, moronic take
As long as they eat their kills, I don't care.
Usually I'd say the same about eating it but when its an introduced pest even if you don't its still beneficial in the end
Hate to sound like a gay but it seems cowardly to me to kill something that doesn't really know it's being hunted. Nothing manly about shooting a Lion sitting around soaking up sun. If you're literally starving then different story but doing it for fun is peak beta male energy.
based. this always causes massive amounts of salt whenever it gets brought up though
if you don't even have to even get close to the animal you're killing, it's pathetic to be proud of killing it
If you think that's salt you should see the tears that tourists give when they realise it's normal to wipe out more of these fricks than they have ever seen in life. Not for food, but for a simple service to the land.
Are those feral cats? If so, keep at it
>Ignores the pestilence that is bird
Atleast small animals can run away from cats; birds frick up plants that have no chance.
>Better just rip off all the leaves so this sunflower dies before it can produce more seed.
>waah my heckin' chickens I let run around get killed by their natural predator !
>thats not fair- they are supposed to sit in a box safely their whole life until I kill them !!
>thinks a cat is the top of the pyramid apex hunter
>get killed by their natural predator
If this is in Australia like I'm gonna assume it is then foxes aren't a natural predator, they're invasives that need to be exterminated
Hunting larger game like this in 2022 is a sign of someone who isn't in a good place. No issue with other animals that are a plenty, but like do you have to really go after rhino and leopards in 2022.
>putting Asian Water buffalo in the same category as fricking endangered animals
Greenpeace being a moron as usual
>not reading OP
>where is Australia
/misc/ being a moron as usual
It's a domesticated species you fricking idiot. Hunting feral species isn't anywhere near the same level as hunting fricking leopards and rhinos.
>also asian water buffalo arent in australia
Take your /misc/ fixation elsewhere.
You can hunt water buffalo in Australia and have been able to for centuries. It's like b***hing about hog hunting in North America.
oh, so now its just "water buffalo"
settle on what animal you want to say it is first, then I can respond
and get more specific, not broad, this time
>oh, so now its just "water buffalo"
settle on what animal you want to say it is first
>The water buffalo (Bubalus bubalis), also called the domestic water buffalo or Asian water buffalo
What did greenpeacetard mean by this
This larger game is invasive in Australia
The feral buffalo in Australia are the same species as the wild water buffalo in Asia
>The feral buffalo in Australia are the same species as the wild water buffalo in Asia
>but they are also invasive !
>but they are the same !
>I get paid ten cents per advertisement
They're invasive in Australia and native to Asia, they're the same species. its not that hard to understand
It's cute you two totally different posters post very closely in time to eachother, a couple times now.
>its not that hard to understand
It is when you keep changing the definition.
If you're referring to samegayging, no
>close browser
>open browser
Not a hard image to post.
Stay on topic
Whatever you say, you're moronic regardless
>It is when you keep changing the definition
There's no definition to change, they're invasive in Australia. What is there to argue about that?
Why are you replying to me?
Aye, but I doubt this guy is taking much from that. Looks to only be fit to hack off the horns and carry that back
>get before
>waaaah you're all samegayging
Cope, seethe, and dial 8
>two posts quoted are an hour apart
>post very closely in time
what did he mean by this
Look at this fricking moron lol.
>keeps coming back to samegay
This
boar is hunted by spear, not by arrow
Black person that was my first post in this thread you delusional troon frick.
I don't get why you just can't see that's you're a fricking moron bro. Look at this moron shit you just said:
>boar is hunted by spear
Black person ain't ever hunted shit but Mconalds double cheeseburger and you're gonna tell people what to use. Just frick off bro.xrw4t
Its funny you still think there's samegayging when the two posts you said were posted in quick succession were an hour apart, not to mention the added screenshot
>thinks screenshots mean anything
>is moronic, is told he's moronic
>you're samegayging
Why are you saying that to me ?
>The feral hogs in the US are the same species raised on farms across the globe
>but they are invasive!
>but they are the same!
Yes, you illiterate gibbon. Asian water Buffalo are an invasive species taken as game in Australia. Fricks sake, they're even listed in Australian hunting regs as takeable game. It's not fricking difficult, you tree hugging imbecile.
Water buffalo are pests here, as are deer, pigs, goats, feral dogs & cats and foxes. With the exception of a few species of deer which are subject to seasons (and during those seasons can be hunted in parts of national parks) all of the above can be hunted year round in state forests and state parks year round with a $20 permit to hunt pests on crown land. Kangaroo can be hunted freely in some states and is protected in others.
Outside of deer hunting certain species in their respective seasons, hunting and dispersed camping is not permitted in national parks.
State parks and state forests are aimed at recreation whereas national parks are aimed at conservation.
I hunt rabbit, deer and pig in the Rubicon state forest, Big River state forest and Lake Eildon state park. $150 Russian .22 bolt action and a $1400 American .30-30 are my guns. There's also good mushrooms in the mountains in Vic that go well with the pig. Go do the safety course at your local police station and they'll tell you where to start ie; get something with low recoil and go practice at the range, don't use calibres too small for what you're hunting, if you can't make a humane kill don't pull the trigger, if you can't make out exactly what you're looking at or what's behind it don't even point the gun at it etc;
>"as are cats"
stopped reading right there
you think pic related is the height of evolution
I don't give a frick about cats
I don't give a frick about pirqs
If you're a small marsupial it might as well be. They're pests regardless
>I dont like them, so
>they are pests
Just you wait.
Kangaroo make one of the strongest leathers (maybe the strongest, it's debatable) because they don't have sweat glands.
Those glands are tiny holes in the skin to secrete water through so they act like the perforations in a roll of paper towels.
Kangaroo hide are awesome for leather crafting and upholstery. Nobody farms Kangaroo because so many are killed as nuisance pests on farms in Australia that they are able to meet market demands.
So you could get a job as an exterminator and that would help with the paperwork for firearm ownership and give you a starting point for hunting fast moving animals.
>Kangaroo make one of the strongest leathers
I agree, I use kangaroo leather for my slingshot pouches. Lasts forever.
a mate of mine does
he loves it
goes on a big hunting trip once a year with his work-mate and bag enough goat, deer and roo to fill a freezer for a year
NT is probably a good place if you want to hunt something big. Also its cool when you shoot something and a big lace monitor shows up to the carcass if you're in qld/nsw/vic
Based opportunist
