New to hunting Victoria

Post by Clarky75 » 04 Aug 2014, 12:17 pm

Hi All,

After being away from the sport since I was a kid I just got myself a marlin xt 22 and I am looking for state forests to hunt fox and rabbits.

I live in the eastern suburbs of melbourne. Where is a good state forest to go hunting for fox and rabbits. I would prefer to be outside than shooting at a range.

Any recommendations would be appreciated.

Thanks all

Check out the dpi web site, it explains it all and it's better to get your info from the horses mouth. Once you pay for your licence you can hunt anywhere listed as huntable on the dpi maps, following calibre restrictions and game seasons.

The further you get away from Melbourne the better the hunting.
