Adventure #101G

Red, Fallow, Javan Rusa, Moluccan Rusa, Axis / Chital, Sambar Deer hunts & Blackbuck Antelope hunting.

Stag hunts for all the above species are available during your Australian safari hunt with us. Different deer species are available on different concessions.

North Queensland Concessions Moluccan & Javan Rusa Deer, Blackbuck Antelope

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, record class 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.

Central Queensland Concession Axis / Chital Deer

Chital deer, also known as Axis Deer, are hunted in Central Queensland. Stags are hunted all year round in this tropical climate, which is very similar to the deer's home range in India. The biggest antlers are available between November and April, reflecting the abundance of feed available at this time.

The accommodation for this hunt is cabin based, with full amenities available.

Dingo are available on both our North and Central Queensland hunting concessions. They are hunted at no extra cost 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.

Southern Queensland Concession Red, Fallow, Chital / Axis, Javan Rusa Deer

 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 traveling 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 neighboring properties.

Hunts are conducted between January and September, with the premium rut time being in April.

Bow hunters are also well catered for, with blinds and high seats overlooking the purpose built dams and improved pasture sites.

Daily Rates & Trophy Fees:

( Daily Rates include our professional guide service, all meals, accommodation, alcoholic & non alcoholic beverages, tags & weapons. Ammunition and permits are supplied at cost price.)

Daily Rate: US$475 1X1, US$400 2X1 Non-hunters: US$160/person

Trophy Fees: Axis / Chital Stag $1,300 (over 30" main beam +$200 premium), 

Fallow Stag $950, Red Stag $1,300, Javan Rusa Stag $1,800. 

Meat stags/does: (Available on the last day of the hunt and only after all trophies taken): US$200 each

New South Wales Concession   Fallow Deer

           Victorian Concession                Sambar Deer

Sambar stag hunts are considered the hardest hunt of any Australian game species. A native of India, the Sambar is one of the main game animals hunted by the Bengal tiger. As such it has developed into a supremely wary deer. 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 black powder 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.    

2005 eight day package rate:

US$2,750 1X1    US$2,250 2X1

Trophy Fee: $2,750

Non-hunters: $160/day
