Victoria has some of the best game hunting opportunities in Australia. There are generous open seasons and bag limits for game deer, duck and quail and about 4 million hectares of public land available for hunting. When you are out enjoying Victoria's great hunting opportunities it is important to remember your obligations to not only comply with the law, but to behave responsibly to protect our valuable resources and the reputation of hunting.
Find our where and when to hunt, information on game deer species, deer hunting laws and methods, and ethical hunting practices.
While a licence is not required to hunt pest animals, in order to have a genuine reason to obtain a Firearm Licence and use a firearm with which to hunt pest animals some hunters will need to get a Registration of interest to hunt pest animals on Crown land.
The Victorian hunting maps show where hunting game and pest species is permitted on public land in Victoria.
