Sambar Deer

Sambar Deer

One of Australia's most difficult and toughest deer trophies, and Australia and New Zealand have the only legal hunting of Sambar in the world. Sambar inhabit the rugged mountain ranges in Victoria and the hunter needs to be reasonable fit especially if taking on a free range or hound hunt.

Very limited numbers of Sambar are located on Coburg Peninsular, they appear few in numbers and genetically inferior and chances of a trophy animal are remote.

Mary River Australian Safaris offers two types of free range hunts in the Southern Alps of Victoria. Both pickup at Melbourne Airport.

These hunts are very exciting , but only for the very fit hunter as they are conducted in rough mountain country. Hunting for a very elusive and cunning trophy animal.

Great trophies available with around 60% sucess rate on a trophy stag and 90% on non trophy animal.
Arrival point is Melbourne Victoria. These hunts are all inclusive, No trophy fees No bag limit.

We also have great fair chase hunting in our Northern Territory and Victorian Game Ranches. These are huge area and still offer tough challenging hunts that can be enjoyed by hunters of all ages and differing physical fitness.

These are usually a 2-3 day hunt and offered on a basis of No Trophy / No Pay.
