You guys are kidding yourselves if you think you can legally wander into Cobourg and shoot a banteng without a tag. I mean it is a National Park!!! Recreational hunting is strictly controlled by the Gurig Board and all hunters must go with the licenced outfitters - it's plain and simple. Just ask the Alaskan hunter who has his Banteng trophy impounded at Darwin at the moment because he chose the wrong outfitter!

The company I work for has permission from the traditional owners to hunt part of Cobourg but we do not have a permit so we do not go near the place. All of our banteng hunts are sub-contracted to one of the licence holders. Don't you think if there was a loophole as you suggest we would be exploiting it.

If you want to do it illegally well be my guest but I wouldnt advise publishing your misdemenours on the Internet!
