G'day Mate!
 |
According
to the Aboriginal people, the Ancestral Beings created the wild, spectacular
lands of Northern Australia at the dawn of time. And men hunted here.
Even after thousands of years, little has changed. The land is still
vast and totally unspoiled. Arnhem Land is owned by and home to Australia's
Aboriginal people. Men still come here to seek unusual, exotic species
available in few other places in the world.
The outfitter for this adventure is fortunate to have a special license
arrangement to hunt this legendary land, and for many years they have
worked hard to earn the respect of both our clients and the custodians
of the land we hunt. They have added a touch of civilization with
the comfortable camps, good food and modem vehicles, but beyond that
you will experience the majesty of Australia the same as men and women
have for centuries. It is an experience enjoyed equally by hunters
and |
| non-hunters alike,
and their professionalism and traditional hospitality can be confirmed
by a long list of references. This year, join them Down Under. The
hunting's great, and the fun is unlimited. |

Water
Buffalo...
 |
Water
Buffalo are big and they are plentiful! The buffalo camp is located
along a magnificent lagoon (locally referred to as a billabong) in
rugged, and very remote Arnhem Land in Northern Australia. Just 2
1/2 hours westward by air from Darwin, the buffalo area is probably
the best in the entire continent. This outfitter has exclusive arrangements
with the Aboriginal owners of the area.
In this specific area, trophies over SCI 100 |
| are
not uncommon with the largest taken to date scoring over 117. These
are wild, untamed animals having never been fenced or caught. This
area did not suffer the effects of the Eradication Program of several
years ago! You can expect to look over many buffalo every day. |

Banteng...
 |
Banteng
have haunted the forests of the Cobourg Peninsula since 1848. This
handsome, exotic animal is extremely elusive and alert, and is a supreme
challenge to the hunter. It is very rare, listed as endangered species
in its native Indonesia. Only three outfitters are
licensed to legally hunt this prized species and this outfitter has
only 15 permits per season. A banteng hunt is one of the most distinctive
and unusual hunts in the world. |
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.
Banteng
Hunt Extras...
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.

Travel
to Australia...
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.

Visa's,
Firearms, etc...
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.
The Camps...
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.

to the banteng area. This hunt is conducted of an uninhabited Aboriginal
owned island located in the Arafua Sea. Huge goats are available on
this island that has limited access. |
