Hunting Permit

The ‘Basic’ permit enables a person to hunt all species of introduced animals. To hunt duck and quail will require an ‘Open Season’ permit (quail and duck plus Basic) for the hunting of protected game. There is currently also an ‘Open Season Quail’ permit available for those not intending to participate in duck hunting. It is a requirement that prior to applying for an Open Season permit (which endorses Duck Hunting) an applicant must have first passed the Waterfowl Identification Test (WIT).

The Waterfowl Identification Test generally consists of the person having to undertake  2 x 3 hour training nights, followed by the actual DENR testing on the third night.

The course requires a minimum of 8 candidates for further information please This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it Tom Vartzokas or call on 08 8379803 or Mobile 0418 827895.
