7) I understand there is limited public land hunting, pigs, geese near Darwin. The rest would be on pastoral land with permission/guiding, all the big stuff, Buff, Camels Donkeys etc...
The difference with Vic for example, most public land is effectively free range hunting, where state forest, National parks have limited seasonal access for game species...
Sambar deer is game all through the year, no tags, no bags, There are also Reds, Fallow, and Hog which are the exception with tags....Gun licence and Game Licence and you're good. Other states have limited/no public land hunting, private land only.
Hope you enjoy your stay

Hope you enjoy the stay and keep away from the women. We are onto you yanks.
Oldbloke wrote:We have 2 territories the rest are states. But that's not important, just a name. Each licence is only good for the territory or state it is issued in. So you will need a Gun Lic for NT. You can then use it in another state or territory for a short period if you visit. (provided you abide by their laws obviously) I don't remember the time limit, perhaps 3 months.
If your wife relieves you of your balls, tell her to feed em to the crocks. They love them.
PS. The crocks are permitted to eat you but shooting them is off limits. I joke not, & they take a few in the NT every year, mainly fat tourists. LOL

I'm guessing you're currently operating out of Fort Carson and will be working at the Gap as part of the joint venture between our nations. If you haven't served in the middle east then be prepared for the desert heat during the day and near zero of a night time of our desert centre. The 300 Win Mag is a good caliber for Camel in the centre and if you get up Darwin way there's buff to be had but you might be a bit under gunned for the Drop Bears of the eastern states I have family in the U.S and a nephew by marriage currently serving in Iraq, I have nothing but respect for service men and women form here or our American allies. If you get near Sydney at all, get in touch and I'd be happy to show you and the family the sights.
I'll definitely let you know when I make my way to Sydney. It won't be just me though, I'll have the whole family as well.

They will bite their own tail to make a hoop and roll down a hill to chase you. They can be very cagey and spend a lot of time just sunning them selves near the top of the local hills waiting for victims to walk past. Bit cane be deadly.

Got chased by a Rocky Mountain hoop snake once. Similar to an Aussie hoop snake but these ones don't eat vegemite
