USUAL SAFARI PROGRAMME
Easy drive from Townsville to - coast, mountains, rivers and plains.
A Land Rover Defender tray body meets hunters at Townsville Airport, and transports clients to the hunting areas, 2 to 5 hours drive, seating for 2 clients only. Alternatively we can meet clients travelling in their rental vehicles at the closest town to the hunting properties and guide them to the safari camp where their car can be parked, Thrifty car rental 07 4725 4655 have mid sized cars at the airport for approx $75 per day.
Using the Land Rover tray as a hunting vehicle/shooting platform, we scout game trails, swamps and feeding areas, hunting/stalking on foot during daylight hours often with the assistance of English pointer dogs, to find and bail bedded pigs, plus some spotlight shooting at night, also in an effort to concentrate pigs we often put out pig troughs with mollasis and grain.
HELICOPTER HUNTING May be made available by special arrangement.
Fast and exciting, beltup you’re in for a wild ride, shooting the biggest boars as they flush out of the swamps, then off running flat out between the trees. Everything's moving it takes a bit of getting used to, keeping on target as you swoop around, laying a field of fire, need plenty of ammunition.
This form of shooting can be done during the wet season, because we are up out of the mud, it can also be done by hunters who have lost full use of their legs and it won’t take much time, we are up and away and into the pigs real fast, so can be done on a one day hunt, which suits tourists on the move.
Small manoeuvrable helicopter, no doors, 2 seats, pilot and shooter, a new experience, cruising over tree tops at 30km per hour looking down in amongst the trees at pigs, deer and dingos. The helicopter is the best method of finding game animals as the trees and grass don't obscure the veiw of pigs from above, also the noise and distubance of the helicopter drives all animals out of cover then has them running out in the open.
In open country Helicopters can also be used to muster pigs towards waiting hunters.
