All of the Persian Fallow that we hunt at BROADSOUND are free ranging. They are a herd animal so mobs of 300 or more animals are not an uncommon site in the rut. You may see as many as 1,500 per day with 100 or more being good quality trophy stags so having another hunter or two joining you is never a problem as the antlers come in many different shapes and everyone has there own idea of what they like best.
Persian fallow deer are physically larger than fallow deer weighing 40 – 100 kg (90 – 220 lb). They are extremely rare and not to long ago were almost extinct but numbers have recently increased. The beautiful coat closely resembles that of a Chital Deer.
Broadsound Safaris is based on the Central Coast of Queensland in close proximity to Hamilton Island, the Witt-Sundays and of course the Great Barrier Reef as well as numerous other wonderful tourist destinations should visitors wish to go fishing or enjoy other activities in our fantastic part of the world. On all of our hunts if you are only a single hunter we will endeavour to find another hunter to put with you for a 2×1 hunt unless you state in the beginning that you wish to hunt alone. Any lone wolf rifle hunters looking for a more affordable hunt can do so on a one day one night hunt from early July through until late August and negotiate price.
Broadsound Safaris Australia is owned and operated by Greg Coyne and is a family owned business based in Queensland with more than 20 years experience in the guiding business.
Offering a wealth of experience, Greg’s vast knowledge of the Australian Deer and native wildlife, is second to none.
Broadsound Safaris is constantly out in the field and searching for “THE BIG ONES” to give you the Trophy of a life time.
The hunt duration for most other species will depend on the area and the species sort. For most hunters, a minimum of two full days is normally required for the first trophy animal than add one day per additional trophy animal. Observer rates are $250 per day.
