Hunting Law Western Australia
Hi Everyone,
Can anybody tell me what the game/hunting laws are in Western Australia. We are thinking about buying rural property with 10 acres of land, does anybody know if I can shoot/hunt on my own land?
Cheers

I'm pretty sure that the WA laws are the same as NSW - check out this thread, where I give quite a bit of info and links.

You CAN hunt on your land - vermin and what have you, but frankly, like Florida says - on 10 acres...???
Are you expecting to use an air rifle? A rifle would probably have far too much of a range to hunt 10 acres. I have 116 acres in the Blue Mountains, and my neighbour has 100, and we're both going through the system to get our licences. That's what I'd consider a reasonable range to hunt.

Do you really get that much pleasure out of killing a live animal for your amusement?

Re: Hunting Law Western Australia
Dear hubby, while in Perth last year asked about taking his guns over, and was told by local police it was more agro and hassle than it was worth. Plus and this is a good on shotguns in Australia don't have safety catches on them, which I wouldn't be happy about. So the guns stay behind, he is taking his bow though.

What my neighbour and I are getting our licences for is vermin - foxes, mainly (brought in by the morons who hunt them on bloody great horses), These are rife in our area. While I personally love foxes, and think they're really cute, we have a problem with them. They have no natural predators, and cause havoc with stock. My neighbour farms goats and alpaccas, and is agisting his stock on my property, and the foxes are a real danger. So, we need to cull them. I'd rather do it myself (never get anyone else to shoot your dog when you need your dog shot), beccause I'll make bloody sure that it's humane, and they don't see it coming.
BTW, this is not to justify myself in any way - I don't need anyone else's 'approval' for my actions. I accept full responsibility for what I do. It's here to explain what I'm doing and why. Now it's up to the animal rights activists to deal with it in their own way. If they can come up with a better idea for controlling a non-indigenous animal which is tearing a hole through valuable stock, by all means let me know. I'll listen.

When John was 11, the first of the foxes and cats appeared in "his" bushland. By the time he was 14, all the wonderful animals had gone. This had a great impact on the child and it became his life's work to save "his" wildlife.
At 16, he left home to make his fortune and follow his dream. It was to be another 14 years before he had accumulated enough funds to commence the building of Warrawong Earth Sanctuary. The Warrawong Story is an incredible story of one man's dedication against the world's greatest monopoly - wildlife management.
Warrawong Earth Sanctuary was developed as a sustainable model for conserving wildlife and biodiversity in Australia, and the Earth Sanctuaries model been hailed as the solution for saving threatened species around the world. See the many awards and accolades.
Together, with his wife Proo Geddes and the Earth Sanctuaries' team of staff, volunteers and members, John is carrying out his vision to save Australia's endangered wildlife.

The only problem is.... it's the natural wildlife which is in a cage - albeit a very large, open one, while the foxes and feral cats run free.
While in WA I saw loads of signs saying that poison bait had been put down in various areas, to kill foxes and feral cats. Unfortunately, it kills anything which eats it. Being poisoned in not a nice way to die. Give me a bullet through the brain, anyday.
