Come Hunt with us.
There’s no lodge, no 5 star accommodation or meals served by veteran chefs – its full on duck hunting in the Australian elements.
Early in the season ABH Outfitters scout our areas to make sure duck numbers and species are available for your hunt. Locations take us anywhere in Victoria so you may hunt North of the state along the border and a day later we will be hunting along the coast in the South East.
Hunting will be in open wetland swamps to coastal waterways, freshwater rivers to freshly cropped paddocks.
FIREARMS & AUSTRALIA:
In Australia we no longer have the use of certain types of guns for Game hunting in our country. In Victoria you cannot use a semi automatic shotgun for Hunting native gamebirds.
ABH Outfitters can provide basic U/O and Double Barrel Field shotguns and ammunition as required for your guided hunt. You may bring with you certain types of firearms for hunting purposes in Victoria.
CUSTOMS – TAXIDERMY & EXPORTATION:
You may wish to have your game birds retuned to the country of your origin once your guided hunt has been completed. The rules and laws of all countries in regards to exporting wild game are different. You will be required to have the game birds mounted or at least their skins tanned.
This is to be undertaken by a licensed and authorized agent (taxidermist) by the Australian Government. The fees for mounting and exporting your game birds will be a direct cost to YOU.
We will organize for your game birds to be delivered to the preferred Agent
NOTE: Some countries may not import and export wildlife. It is your best interest to make sure you are aware of your countries governing wildlife laws.
LICENCES & PERMITS:
All relevant documentation for you to hunt in Victoria will be – with your assistance – completed by us. You will have to fill out forms and send certain documentation to us for applications purposes. Please be aware that it is at the discretion of Australian government agencies on whether you will be able to hunt in Australia.
Once you have paid your booking fee we will undertake the applications. License’s will be valid for a period of 6 months from the date issued.
TRANSFERS TO & FROM THE AIRPORT:
We will pick up international hunters from Melbourne International Airport only. International Hunters will be required to arrive a minimum 1 day prior to their hunt dates before 2 p.m. – we will need time to get you settled and to your hunt destination.
