    Had a father and son hunters from SA and they said you can hunt on your own property with a bow.

    Just looked up the legal regs and I'm wrong in my post. No bow hunting at all.

    Hunt safe, look after the bush & plug more pests. The greatest invention in the history of man is beer.

    Yes that is correct, you could bow hunt on your own property prior to the 2nd phase of the bow hunting ban in SA.

    Is the ban for ‘ethical’ reasons?

    I may be corrected, but, yes that was the argument the State Government put to the media.

    However, IMHO I think its just more creep to satisfy their ideological aim to ban all hunting.

    I think that is what triggered the initial Tasman ban, ( maybe as well) , I was travelling there when it happened .
