Adventures In Hunting! Hunting Water Buffalo, Banteng, Feral Goat, Wild Boar and Sambar Deer in Australia!

On the banteng hunt there are several exciting extras offered if time permits: Wild boar are plentiful and can be hunted for a nominal fee. You may enjoy the superb complimentary fishing in the estuaries of the Cobourg Peninsula. These waters have never been fished commercially and the chances are you will have them all to yourself. The famous barrimundi is found here along with many other hard-fighting species. Just let us know so we can arrange for tackle and a guide. Banteng hunters can also try for the elusive sambar deer, although they are very difficult to obtain. There is no extra charge other than the trophy fee if you are successful. Both buffalo and banteng hunters can enjoy a one-day add-on goat hunt as desired. It normally will be done while changing from the buffalo to the banteng area.

All banteng hunters are entitled to excellent complimentary fishing the Cobourg Peninsula. Wild boar can also be hunted in the banteng area for a nominal trophy fee. You can also hunt Sambar deer in this area, time permitting. Be advised that these deer are very elusive and the success rate is low. If you are successful, you pay the trophy fee only. If unsuccessful, there is no charge.

If you are coming from the United States, you will fly nonstop from Los Angeles to Sydney. On your trip back to Sidney, you might want to go through Cairns so you can include the Great Barrier Reef in your visit.

Australia is very safe, clean and stable country, and the people are known for their hospitality. There is a great variety of activities and fascinating places to visit. You may want to plan some extra time to see some of the popular attractions in this unique country. We are glad to make some suggestions.

Australia does not have malaria or the tsetse fly. You do not need any special vaccinations. Currently, you have to arrange an entry visa electronically through your travel agent, and you will need a current passport, of course.

We will arrange the necessary documentation should you wish to bring your own firearm or alternatively you can also borrow one of theirs. As you will be hunting large animals, you should use an appropriate caliber. They will be happy to accommodate archery and handgun hunters as they have in the past. Camouflage clothing is legal. Non-hunters and families always enjoy the Australian countryside and the people. Every effort to provide a memorable experience for the hunter and nonhunter alike will be made.

You will find their tented camps comfortable and pleasant. The buffalo camp is 2 1/2 hour flight on their own aircraft from Darwin to Arnhem land. Both camps have roomy tents, proper beds and linens, and electricity. The dining areas is fully screened. Camps have sit-down toilets, running water and hot/cold showers. There is a washing machine and good refrigeration in each camp. They pride themselves on their good food. Both camps are very scenic, with the buffalo camp on a pleasant lagoon and the banteng camp on a white sandy beach with off-shore breezes and beautiful sunsets. Radio contact is maintained with the Flying Doctor in Darwin in case of an emergency.

Hunting is available all year around although the most comfortable months to hunt are from May through October. This is the "Dry" season, or "winter". The weather is normally warm and pleasant.
