Thread: Perth Australia

Its not all doom and gloom, there is some fantastic hunting to be had on private land in WA. Mainly foxes, and Roo’s but there’s scrub bulls, camels, pigs and isolated populations of deer scattered about the place if you know the right people. I used to enjoy chasing foxes and roo's around on a property that I was fortunate enough to have access to not far from Perth.

As above, there are two hurdles you need to overcome.

1) If its hunting, you want then you need to know someone with land you can shoot on and have them vouch for you in order to obtain a rifle and do some hunting. It’s quite the process and takes time but is possible.

2) Gun ownership, whilst not too difficult is problematic if you cannot demonstrate a reason to own one. Clubs etc are a good way to overcome this get into a bit of shooting with pistols, 22’s etc.

My advice would be to join a shooting club and rub shoulders with some like-minded people and the opportunities to hunt will come. Plus, you get to do a bit of shooting to keep you sane in the meantime.
