Weekend in the High Country – Sambar Deer Meat Hunt & Education

Hunt Description

Weekend in the High Country – Sambar Deer Hunt

The Experience: Join us for a camping-style weekend hunt in Victoria’s High Country, based on exclusive private land where we target Sambar deer using a variety of proven hunting techniques. This hands-on, educational experience is ideal for beginners and seasoned hunters alike. The package includes up to 2 hinds per hunter, with the option to pursue a trophy stag (POA).

Hunters supply their own camping gear, meals and beverages—however, catering and gear can be provided at an additional cost. It’s a genuine free-range adventure designed to build skills, confidence and unforgettable memories in some of Australia’s most iconic deer country.

Guided by Experience
You’ll be heading out with Brendan, a guide whose life has been defined by the Victorian bush. From chasing ducks as a child to his “obsession” with Sambar deer that began at 19, Brendan has spent decades mastering the craft. Based in the Victorian High Country with his wife Holli and their children, Brendan treats every guest like a friend, focusing on the pride and satisfaction that comes from a successful, ethical harvest.

Join Brendan at Magnum Hunting Australia, forge genuine friendships, and create a memory that you’ll compare every future trip to.

Dreat patience and knowledge

28/09/2026

In July my son and I booked a 2-day hunt with Brendan. Being inexperienced hunters, Brendan showed great patience and knowledge in ensuring the 2 days were an enjoyable experience for the both of us. He was really hospitable and extended an invitation to his home where we enjoyed the smoked venison from our hunt. Would not hesitate to recommend Brendan to anyone who is looking to have a great hunting experience in Australia.

I recently had the pleasure of hunting with Brendan who embodied the perfect blend of expertise, patience, and camaraderie. From the moment we set out, Brendan’s knowledge of the land put us in prime position to nab two meat animals within an hour of arrival and helped me with some fast-track techniques to process these animals. Whether you’re a seasoned hunter or a novice like myself, I would look no further.
