I can highly recommend Kowas Adventure Safaris. A fantastic family run operation and top shelf hunting and service.

Great write up mate and lovely stags. Nick is a champion bloke and runs a quality show. I've hunted that same place with him. ;)

A feral horse.

That's no trophy in my eyes sorry. Shot plenty but took no real pleasure in it.

Crocodile Buffalo Banteng Scrub Bull Boar The Territory Big 5. Imagine the potential.

Crocodiles are in too greater numbers in the NT. At least the Territory Government is proactive - a few years ago they approved Crocodile trophy hunting, only to have the plan overturned by the Federal government of the day. Such as wasted opportunity, especially for the Indigenous population.

Hi mate Your best option for hunting near Melbourne in June will be sambar deer. They're tough hunting in mountainous country, but if you're up for a challenge they're a fantastic game species. It'll still be a couple of hours drive to get into good country. There's public land (with permit) or...

I've done four safaris now and haven't shot anything out of a truck or blind. Not my cup of tea. But nothing against anyone else - it's your money, your hunting ethics, and your story to tell. Just be resolute in how you wish to hunt and clear in your communication.

This Red stag was a heart shot, complete bang-flop at 270m. Dead in his tracks. Not a mark on him externally, but massive internal damage from the 135gn Atomic 29 copper bullet in my 7mmRM. I put it down to the heart being empty or full when hit, as of course most heart shots will run a bit...

They most certainly have, thank you. Although I'm yet to venture back to Namibia. One day, perhaps. I am glad you had a much better experience and are happy with the results. Good hunting.
