Australia is a vast continent with habitats ranging from tropical rainforests to mountain ranges and the arid Outback. Most big game species are non‑native introductions that thrive in low‑density landscapes. The largest trophies are water buffalo, banteng and feral boar, while several deer species including sambar, hog deer, red deer, fallow deer and rusa deer provide additional variety. Water buffalo hunts are available year‑round, but the best time in the Northern Territory is during the dry season from June to September.
Tropical wetlands, dense forests and desert plains yield an eclectic mix of introduced game in Australia.
Northern Territory (Top End) Vast floodplains and savannas host free‑range water buffalo, banteng and feral boar. Hunts take place during the dry season when animals concentrate around shrinking water sources; spot‑and‑stalk on foot is the typical method.
Queensland & New South Wales Agricultural land and eucalyptus forests support populations of red deer, chital (axis deer), fallow deer and feral pigs. Hunts are often conducted on private stations with vehicle and foot access.
Victoria & Gippsland Dense mountain forests harbour the elusive sambar deer and the diminutive hog deer. These hunts demand patience and careful stalking.
Outback & Central Australia Arid bush and desert landscapes are home to feral camels, wild dogs and donkeys. Hunts here are remote and adventurous.
