PIG HUNTING

Wild Boar Hunting in North Queensland

Australian Hunting Consultants is proud to offer exclusive wild boar hunting on half a million acres in the remote North Queensland Gulf country. This area contains literary thousands of wild boar as well as dingoes, salt and fresh water crocodiles and amazing bird life. This area is a privately owned working cattle station and borders on two major rivers, the Mitchell and the Alice Rivers.

Pig Hunting:

The hunting method used, is spotting from a vehicle, then stalk on foot when a trophy boar is spotted. The pig hunting area is mostly flat with lots of water holes, paper bark swamps and billabongs.Wild boars can be found feeding early morning and late afternoon. They can also be found near water through the middle of the day.

Getting There:

Due to the remoteness and vast distances, hunters will be flown in and out by light plane from Cairns International Airport. The light plane can accommodate 4 hunters and their gear.

Accommodation:

Accommodation is basic but clean, with a well equipped kitchen and bathroom. We stress that this is a working cattle station in a remote part of Australia so we cannot supply 4 star accommodation but we guarantee you will be comfortable and very well fed.
