Hi guys, I too am having trouble securing a property or just finding state forestry that isn't balloted. I have entered into the central highlands ballot but was too late to enter into the big den ballot this year (I thought they closed at the same time). I have heard that there may be state forestry in Blessington which hold deer and is worth a look. Can anybody confirm this? I'm not asking for honey holes or anything like that, just a general suburb would be a great start.
I have been hunting small game like rabbits and wallaby since I have been legally able to (I did not grow up in a hunting family) but am struggling making the leap from small game to big game just due to lack of opportunity. I am a very safe respectable hunter who always cleans up after themselves and leaves camp sites etc exactly as they are found. If anyone is interested in meeting up to discuss hunting opportunities such as Gwion I would be happy to meet you somewhere public a few times to get to know you. Also if anyone is wanting a hunting partner for state forestry like Blessington I would be keen to come for the trip also.
