Hi All,

Just wondering if anyone has gone or planning to go on a hog deer hunt in Victoria this season?

Would love to know what kind of kit you guys are using, camping or just day trips in to stalk. Anything really. I would love to learn more about hunting hog deer this one month a year.

Doesn't look like too many are targeting Hog Deer. From what I see, most in Vic are focused on Sambar and to a lesser extent, Red Deer.

A lot more nuisance value with hoggies, like having to take the complete carcass for inspection within 24hrs at one of three locations.

O r you can do a canned "hunt" for $6500...which doesn't include taking them for inspection.

My understanding is that they are the hardest to stalk, out of VIC veriety​. And mortality rate at birth or thereabouts is much higher, making them somewhat more scarce. That's what I heard from people who go after them.

As for you, brother Bentaz, you STFU and wash that mouth of yours out with sope!
