Where can I hunt in Victoria?

Hey guys

I hope that everyone is well

I would like to get into hunting very soon
Unfortunately, I don't know much about hunting
And I just wanted to make sure that I got my information right
(I would like to hunt rabbits, hares and goats primarily to start with)

From what I read
We're allowed to hunt:
- on Private Property (with the owner's permission of course)
- in State Forests
- on Crown Land (that permits hunting)
- on State Game Reserves (if you are game license endorsed for duck hunting during open duck season)

Is that all correct? Am I missing anything?

And if that's all correct

#1
(In terms of Crown Land)
How do you guys know which Crown Land specifically allows hunting?

#2
(And in terms of State Forests)
Does every single State Forest automatically allow hunting?
Is that a 100% given that all State Forests allow hunting?
Or do some State Forests don't allow hunting?

Sorry about sounding ignorant guys
I've never gone hunting before
I would like to start soon
And obviously I wanna make sure to do the right thing

Thanks in advance guys

Download the "more to explore" app. It shows you areas you can hunt :)
And have a look at this page - https://www.gma.vic.gov.au/hunting/hunting-maps

Is your license purpose for hunting? That's an important one,

Aliqua;
Yeah
I do have the "more to explore" app on my phone
That was gonna be my next question
Is that app 100% accurate?
Can we definitely rely on that app to work out where we wanna hunt?

I would combine it with google maps offline (saved)... hunt inside the lines by a little bit and you'll be okay :)
