Hi guys,

Your postings really got me thinking of a hunting trip to Australia!
What are the seasons, especially for water buffalo and sambar?
How about the cull hunts (camel, donkey); what time of year is it reasonable to hunt, and is there a specific season for these hunts?

September to November starts to get hot in the Top End, especially October and November. July and August are the more comfortable months. There is no "season" as such other than weather conditions and if using an outfitter when they operate.

Cull hunts can be done anytime depending on the area. Inland hunts if not in the "tropics" for example. Summer can be very hot. Donkey culls etc, some outfitters such as Hunt Australia do them as special hunts and can be booked. Matt Graham has just headed North for the hunting 'season' and they do they too. He is listed here on NE.com

Sambar in the Top End are rare. I know I looked for them all the time when hunting the Cobourg Peninsula but not much chance of sighting one. Sambar in the Victorian highlands can be hunted all year round. The cooler months are better. Some of the public lands available to hunting are locked during some months but can be walked in. Others are open all year. Some outfitters may be able to help with a sambar hunt in the wild. Most sambar taken by foreign clients are probably taken in fenced hunting areas however.

August is my favourite month.
