Sambar Deer Hunting
Still hunting is the main method used in this area. Time is spent checking game trails and wallows for fresh sign. At times if the sign is fresh enough, your guide will follow in the hope of ambushing a Sambar Stag. This type of hunting is exhilarating and is the supreme challenge to hunting on the Australian continent.
Getting There
You simply take a connecting flight to Albury Airport. A connection can easily be made from Australia’s two major international Airports Melbourne or Sydney. Your Guide or one of his representatives will meet you upon arrival at Albury Airport and transport you approx 1 hour to your hunting area.

You will stay with your Guides family and enjoy wonderful home cooked meals and beverages. Some nights could be spent in a spike camp, this will be at the Guides disgression and all the necessary equipment will be provided.
What to Bring
Good quality pair if hiking boots, Binoculars, warm (commo) hunting clothing, day pack, torch (headlamp), wet weather clothing, sleeping bag and your personal effects.
