BOAR HUNTING AUSTRALIA NORTHERN TERRITORY
The outfitter has been conducting Boar hunts at Dorisvale Station since 1987. Dorisvale is a working cattle station (ranch) just over 1-hour air charter flight south of Darwin or 3 ½ hours by road charter. There are no trophy fees or bag limits at Dorisvale, however they do not typically shoot sows or young boars when trophy hunting.
Trophy boar hunting is very specialized. They have numerous high seats and tree stands in natural feeding locations. Early morning hunting is conducted by departing camp well before first light and sneaking up on these baited areas to catch the big boars feeding in the limited morning light. In the middle of the day stalking along creeks and the boar's cool daytime resting areas that are known to carry permanent boar populations. Fast shooting action is required when disturbing the boars in their sleeping areas. In the late afternoon, back to the high seats or tree stands and hunt over the selected sight until sundown or even into the evening, if the big boars are feeding later. (Additional culling opportunities up to 30 animals per day).
Camp is a very comfortable tent camp with modern facilities including comfortable beds, linen, 240 Volt power, hot showers, refrigeration, deep freeze, laundry facilities, etc. Meals are prepared by the camp cook and are comprised of specially selected quality meats, and a combination of fresh and frozen vegetables flown in at the beginning of the hunt.
Hunting Season & Prime Hunting Dates-
May until August each year. July and August are the most productive months, due to the drier conditions.
