President’s message
I
t’s October already and 2016 will be over before you know it, but there’s still a few events left on the Branch Calendar!
The upcoming family camp on October 15 will be a great getaway to bring the family along to, and to introduce the kids to hunting. Please encourage your families to come along for what’s sure to be a fun, kidfriendly family weekend. The extended wet weather has meant the ground will stay nice and wet for a little longer, perfect for getting out and having a stalk (nice and quiet underfoot!). So the season is perhaps a little longer this year, and if you haven’t done much hunting there’s still time to get out there! I had a great season and was lucky enough to finally bag my first stag (see front page!). I have to thank the ADA members who have shown me the way and given me mountains of advice, and the Richos for being there with me on the day to help with the carry out and trophy preparation.
Having so many accomplished sambar hunters among the club is one of the great benefits of ADA membership, and I can’t recommend enough to all our Facebook friends that joining and attending Branch meetings is a great experience and well worth it. In this edition of the Roar, we’re also again highlighting the need to speak up about the proposed Great Forest National Park. The poster on Page 8-9 should be warning enough – of all the park users shown, there are no hunters, either stalking or with hounds. If we don’t speak up we could well lose a huge, huge chunk of our traditional hunting land. So I encourage you to do as the article says and write to your local MP to voice your concerns. To read more on this visit http://www.austdeer. com.au/gfnp/ This is another reason why our Facebook friends should consider the ADA. We have helped secure a number of significant advances

for hunters, including being heavily involved in securing the Hog Deer ballot hunting on Snake Island, near Wilsons Promontory to start in from 2017 (see Page 16). Now, I know this will upset a few, but at the last Committee Meeting we decided that as our prices for the allyou-can-eat BBQ at meetings hadn’t increased since 1979 (or at least so it would seem...) the price needed a small adjustment. The BBQ has been running at a slight loss for a while and it’s unsustainable. So from our next meeting, the BBQ will be $8. While we’re at it, we’re implementing a stamp system whereby you get a stamp when you pay, which will be your ticket to get a feed. Our next Branch Meeting (the last before the Christmas Party) will be on October 12 at Longlea Clubrooms. See you there! Best wishes, Richard Chan Central Victoria Branch President

Note the lack of hunters among park users in this promotional poster for the ‘Great Forest National Park’.
Forest Industry Taskforce or Great Forest National Park implantation taskforce?
R
ecently the ADA has contacted all members with an email asking for people to write to their local MP and the Heads of the State Government about the Forest Industry Taskforce. This task force has come into been thought the efforts of a small number of people seeking to have the Great forest National Park created. They say they want to protect the Leadbeater’s possums by stopping logging and creating new national park, but it will be a park for all. It will be a multi-use park open to all who currently use the area to hunt, fish, 4x4 camp and the list goes on. This is not case. WE HAVE TO MAKE OUR VOICES HEARD. WE DO NOT WANT THIS PARK. The Forest Industry Taskforce has been setup as an exit strategy for
the logging and paper industry in this state and for a direct handover to the National Parks people. The fact that the former CEO of the Australian Conservation Foundation, Professor Don Henry has been named as the independent Chair of the task force should ring alarm bells to all bush users. The same Australian Conservation Foundation who have stated aims of “Provide federal funding and reforms to protect high conservation value forests and wildlife in eastern Victoria, including the establishment of the Great Forest National Park”.(from their doc ACF_NationalAgenda. Layout.Web.pdf) This is not just a hunting issue. This issue should be of concern to all bush users as the restrictions placed on any activities with in a national park are far greater than that of state forest.
What can you do to help? Write a letter. Get other bush users involved. Let the state government know what we are not happy with them taking us for granted in this matter. Asked for a response and follow up if you do not receive one. These people are meant to be there to represent YOU. If you feel you have a 1/2 hour to kill have a read http:// forestindustrytaskforce.com.au this will show you where they are at in this process. Then put pen to paper. Use the guide lines put together by ADA at the following link http://www. austdeer.com.au/wp-content/ uploads/2016/09/Actionkit-forForest-Industry- Taskforce.pdf You need to act now. Protecting the forest by the exclusion of all others is not right.
‘A new park for everyone’ – Except us!
T
hese flyers are being placed in letterboxes in marginal electorates around Melbourne. Deer hunters are the major users of the forest for eight months of the year, we are real eco-tourists and contribute $millions to local economies. Now it
appears that they’re trying to airbrush us out of the picture. They are trying to exclude us from the taskforce that will determine the future of this important parcel of public land. If you get one of these flyers in the mail, use it as a reminder to contact your local MP and let them
10 I Sambars Roar I October-November 2016
know that hunters are important users of public land and we have a right to a seat at the table when decisions are being made about our future. The following three-page ‘resource kit’ has been developed by the ADA to help deer hunters and public land users ensure their voices are heard.

The issue Hunters would be aware of the push by a pressure group to create a large new National Park in Victoria’s Central Highlands. The establishment of new National Parks is problematic for game hunters as it inevitably leads to restrictions on access and hunting opportunity. The proposed National Park in the Central Highlands (dubbed the ‘Great Forest National Park’ by its proponents) would impact significantly on the amenity and hunting opportunities of Victoria’s 3,800 licensed hound hunters and a similar amount of hunters with gundogs who would be excluded from large swathes of their traditional hunting country. The almost certain result of such disruption would be a further increase in wild deer numbers and a subsequent intensification of negative environmental impacts. Labor went to the 2014 election with a policy stating that:
“Labor strongly supports a consensus approach in the establishment of any new national parks. We will facilitate and support the establishment of an Industry Taskforce to provide leadership to reach common ground on the future issues facing the industry, job protection, economic activity, protection of our unique native flora and fauna and threatened species, such as the Leadbeater’s possum. The taskforce will have members from the forestry and forest products industry, unions, environmental groups and scientists, threatened species experts, land owners, timber communities and other relevant stakeholders. A Labor Government will consider any reasonable recommendations and proposals reached by consensus of the major stakeholders through the Industry Task Force, but will not impose solutions.” Deer hunters contribute more than forty million dollars a year to the municipalities which would be affected by the proposed park. In smaller towns like Jamieson, Woods Point and Kevington hunting is a significant and indispensable economic driver. When the Leadbeater’s possum action plan identified that wild deer were hindering critical reforestation efforts in the Yellingbo Nature Conservation Reserve hunters took productive and practical steps to address the concerns. Over the past twelve months our volunteers have put over one thousand hours into a program which has removed more than one hundred deer from the reserve. Given the importance of hunting on public land, hunting groups more than qualify as a “relevant stakeholder” for the purposes of this policy. Indications are that hunters and other recreational users are likely to be excluded from this process and, instead, will be “consulted” with after a decision is made. This is not acceptable.

Resource kit forand hunters Resource Kit for Hunters Public Land Users What you can do Hunters need to remind politicians that we are important users of public land and that we need to be properly included in discussions about the future tenure of forests in Eastern Victoria. If you live in Victoria you should write to your local State member of Parliament and remind them, in your own words, that: -
Hunters contribute more than $430 million a year to the Victorian economy Hunters are the most significant users of much of the forest affected by this proposal Hunters and other recreational users deserve a seat at the table on the taskforce that will consider this proposal

Hound hunting brings new experiences By Craig Hill
E
arlier this year I was invited to give a talk on hounds and hound hunting at the Central Vic branch ADA. I would like to thank the branch and members for making me feel welcome on the evening. I believe that this talk was well received and I enjoyed doing it. From this I had a number of people from the branch come up for a hunt and some have taken deer over the hounds. That’s my reward. As always we are looking for new members of the team and some younger legs in the bush would be great so if you want to try please give
me a call. When you’re with a team it is in the interest of the team to teach you. So come along and give it a try. The season, whilst still having two months left, it will now start to depend on the weather. I have had reports of snakes been out and about for a few weeks now. So take care on the warmer days when you’re in the bush. Also with the warmer weather take care when transporting your dogs. Heat exhaustion when running or worst heat stress in a dog crate without ventilation at the end of a hunt can quickly kill a dog. So take care as the weather warms up. I personal run removable

sides in the doors my dog crates to give better air flow on warmer days. We’ve have a great run this year and have been getting our one or two most weeks. Hunting where we hunt and the way we hunt we’re happy with that. To the left is Peter’s first off hounds, a doe taken on the run. His taken a lot of deer stalking. But said “when they’re running straight at you out of that jungle with the hounds not far behind, it adds a whole new dimension to the sport”. I can be contacted on 0409 144 270. Take care and good hunting. Craig Hill

Hunting on snake island a landmark announcement
A
ustralia’s peak deer hunting organisation has praised the Victorian Environment Minister’s announcement of a trial of balloted deer hunting on Snake Island. “Hunters have been asking for this since the 1960s and actively campaigning for balloted hunting on Snake Island for the past twenty five years” Australian Deer Association (ADA) Victorian President Col Brumley said. “Snake Island holds a large percentage of Victoria’s hog deer and Minister D’Ambrosio is to be commended for recognising that a highly valued and sustainable use of this unique piece of public land has been denied to law abiding hunters without good reason for far too long”. The Australian Deer Association put forward a fresh proposal late in 2015. Previous efforts had been unsuccessful in 1991, 2004 and 2013. “It’s one of those issues where we are convinced that the principle is sound so we persevered with it” Mr Brumley continued, “Jeff Bourman saw the sense in it straight away and he and Daniel Young have
“
championed the proposal on behalf of Victoria’s 36,000 licensed deer hunters. We are celebrating this result today because of the efforts of the Shooters and Fishers Party MPs”. The Snake Island Cattlemen’s Association have consistently opposed hunting on the Island, citing concerns about public safety, sustainability and tourism. “The Cattlemen’s fears are no doubt sincerely held, but they are completely unfounded” Mr Brumley said. “Two expert risk assessments from Victoria Police over the past
If you like the outdoors, and if you like the pursuit of wild game, you have the responsibility of asking yourself three questions before you post a picture on social media: 1. Is it going to educate someone about hunting? 2. Is it going to inflame or provide ammunition to people who are trying to shut down what I love doing? 3. Will I be adding to the anti hunting or will I be adding to the education of non-hunters? It’ll soon not be your right to even go into the field if you continue to inflame the anti-hunting fraternities which are very, very powerful.
– Ivan Carter, conservationist, professional guide and photographer.
16 I Sambars Roar I October-November 2016
four years have confirmed that there is no risk to public safety. Twenty-eight years of balloted hunting for hog deer on the mainland has proven that the model is sustainable. A half a century of hunting on the neighbouring, cooperative owned, Sunday Island has had no negative effect on tourism”. Mr Brumley committed to working with the cattlemen to address any concerns. “We (ADA) made a commitment back in 2012 that, when hunting did finally come to the Island, hunters would do everything they could to make it work for the cattlemen. We have every intention of honouring that commitment”
Remember the rules! Taken from the Firearm Safety Code. Download at: www.police.vic.gov.au/
Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms When handling a firearm you must be able to think clearly. Alcohol and drugs (even those prescribed) dull and slow your mental and physical reactions. Alcohol and Firearms do not mix! Ever! Wait until your firearm has been safely locked away before you consume alcohol. Do not shoot with others who are, or have been, drinking alcohol or taking drugs.
Rule 8: Never have loaded firearms in the car, home or camp SECTION ONE: What you must know about firearms 1a) The ten basic rules 1. Treat every firearm as loaded 2. Always point firearms in a safe direction 3. Load a firearm only when ready to fire 4. Identify your target beyond all doubt
Many people have been injured or killed in these situations due to this rule being broken. Before entering a car, home or camp completely unload your firearm. Ensure that the action is open and that there is no ammunition in either the breech or the magazine. Pay particular attention to tubular or rotary magazines to ensure that all rounds are removed.
5. Check your firing zone 6. Store firearms and ammunition safely 7. Avoid alcohol or drugs prior to and while handling firearms 8. Never have loaded firearms in the car, home or camp 9. Never fire at hard surfaces or water 10. Don’t climb fences or obstacles with loaded firearms
The ten basic rules explained As long as a firearm is in good condition and handled and stored properly, it cannot hurt anyone. You are responsible for making sure your firearm is in good condition and handled safely.
6
Rule 9: Never fire at hard surfaces or water Consider the area in which you are shooting. Could a ricochet occur? A ricochet will almost certainly occur from shooting at water or smooth flat surfaces and rocks. Remember that when a ricochet occurs you have lost control of where the projectile will finish up, resulting in possible injury to another person or damage to property. Be especially careful when shooting with an air rifle due to the slow velocity of pellets they fire. They are very prone to ricochet and should be treated with the utmost of caution. Rimfire and centrefire bullets are prone to ricochet as they lose velocity at the end of their travel.
