Hunting Maps

The Victorian hunting maps show where hunting game and pest species is permitted on public land in Victoria.

Some areas open to hunting can be easily identified due to distinct and easily recognisable boundaries (e.g. roads) while others can be difficult to identify and are only defined by physical features or lines on a map.

There are two options you can choose from to check where hunting is permitted on public land in Victoria.
