Please read my report in the Asian Hunting Forum from last years adventure if your interested.

Are they Javan or moluccan rusa? Trophy or culls?

Cheers,
Mark.

Moluccan Rusa only, Trophy animals need to be hunted, this is no way similar to New Cal and certainly no management or conservation programs, however you would be permitted to despatch for local camps and villages.

Hey Stew - whose gun do you use and how do you get the trophies out?

Sorry Stewart, plenty of questions.....

Charter flight is extra? How much?

Hunting guide = 1x1?
Fishing guide same?

Cheers,
Mark.

Company has guns licenced for operation 2 x .308, Ruger & Tikka. I bought my antlers back without any hassles, l did however send a W3 Permit Application through to Dept. Conservation accompanied with a letter of request. I did not bother with cape, this as you know would need to go to someone like Peggy. Extra flight cost for me was $1000 last year, this is organized thru the Company. Guide is 1v1 or 1v2.

Fishing guide different to Hunting guide, they nearly all speak English which surprised me particularly when some people have never seen white man before.

What would spearfishing be like? Water clarity? Depth of reefs? Lot of fish? There should not be too much pressure on the fish if they take that size Snappers? Crocs?

Certainly a questions for the Operator. My time has only been spent inland far from blue water. Sorry l cant be of assistance with that one.

Can you hunt Buff there also?? I would love to get one of those "pink" bulls

Buff is difficult, they are mostly in the Northern Regions however they are scattered in the south too. I would recommend a trip to the NT, l have seen many fully Pink Buff here too.
