Sambar Deer

Why not take the ultimate challenge and hunt Australia's premier game animal, the "Mighty Sambar Stag?"

Your guide will hunt with you literally in his own back yard! This gives you, the hunter, the advantage of his intimate knowledge of the area and the habits of this magnificent game animal. You will be hunting Sambar Deer in the picturesque North East Victorian Alps, in semi open temperate eucalyptus forests.

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.
