I think, that here are many hunters, that can type in english.
But they are little shy:icon_wink: so they are waiting for some questions to start typing.
Gday ZR7 I was looking at your profile picture, that sure is one ugly looking mutt. Much more ugly than any of my bloodhounds or beagles. :icon_lol:
The hound in your avatar is a nice looking dog.
Do you or any of your members on this forum hunt with hounds?
I hunt Sambar deer with hounds most weekends during the season here in Victoria.
:icon_lol:The ugly one is watching my profile:icon_wink:Citat:

The Nice looking dog is bitch, named Bisa. She is Alpine Dachsbracke (one of scenthounds) and we often hunt together. Yesterday in the night, we were loking for roe deer buck, wounded by my friend. We were sucessfull.:icon_lol:
Hello Hound Hunter! Throughout the hunt season it is almost necesary to hunt with dogs. We hunt Red deer, wild boars, foxes, rabbits... the hunt is performed by group of hunters, who surround the hunt area and some other hunters with dogs (hounds) "push" hunted animals towards them... How do you hunt?
Gday Kolovski.
The only deer we are allowed to hunt in Australia with hounds are sambar deer, and the only dogs that we are allowed to use to scent trail sambar deer are Bloodhounds & Beagles of pure breeding.
We have many deer in Australia Sambar being the largest, but we also have Red deer, Rusa deer, Fallow deer, Chital deer and Hog deer.
Not all the deer are in the same areas but we also have Kangaroos, Wallabys, Wombats, Wild Dingoes, Foxes and many more animals that we do not want the hounds to trail.I will explain our methods of hunting in more detail when i have more time, will also try and post some photos when i workout how to do it.
Dont be afraid to ask any questions that any of you might have.
Hello!
Why do you hunt only one kind of deer with dogs? How do you then hunt rabbits or ducks or....
I think its necessary that a group of Slovenian hunters comes down to Australia to show you how to do it:icon_lol:,because it looks like you have no idea:icon_lol:(ðoke)!
Do you hunt Kangaroos too?:icon_study:Ive heard that its forbitten to hunt them? Is that true?
Hello dear ozzy hunter.
If I'm not mistaken they shoot 1-2 millions of roos each year. And even night time hunting with lights is not forbidden.
How about pigs? I've heard you got tons of them and big ones too - they are ugly as hell because they come from farm animals but I suppose there are still the king of the beasts - their meat that is.
There was a nice article in Slovenian Hunting Association's Newsletter LOVEC a few months ago about a Slovenian guy who moved to Australia some 20 years ago.
Dragi Dolgin & Janez Valentic ( I hope thats right )
I will try and answer your questions as best i can.
Firstly Kangaroos are a protected species and must not be hunted, the only people that can legally shoot roos are professionals that have permits to cull them.
An example would be if a property owner had a plague of roos on his property he could apply to the relevent government department for a permit to cull (eg 200) roos, then he could get a professional in to shoot his limit and remove the animals to a chiller for export.
I have shot many roos over the years mainly for dog food but i dont feed my dogs roo meat any more as it gives them worms. (The ROOS are full of them).
But if you like the meat dont let me stop you, we are only to happy to keep exporting it to Europe.:icon_biggrin:
To answer Dolgins Question about why we only hunt Sambar with scent trailing hounds is because that is the only deer we are allowed to hunt with hounds. We are governed by laws and regulations that The Department Of Natural Resources And Enviroment (DNRE) have put together.:icon_sad:
An example would be if we hunted Hog deer with our hounds they would catch these deer very quickly and that would not give them a fair chance to escape.Hog deer are a similar size to your Roe Buck but heavier.
We also hunt rabbits , ducks , and quail, some of the guys that hunt with me have Brittney Spainels, German Short Hair Pointers and Hungarian Vislers, these dogs can also be used to hunt Sambar when Stalking. (Point & Flush).
To answer Kolovskis Question about how we hunt , when we wake early Saturday morning i will send out guys to track the forest roads or walk sections of the bush (Forest) until we find fresh deer tracks . I will then check the tracks myself to make sure that they are truly fresh (most of the guys dont have my experience with deer sign).
I will then position the hunters where i think the deer might run, next i will put my most experienced hound on the fresh tracks, when that hound starts to voice loudly i will release 4 more on the trail. (Regulations only 5 hounds are allowed at any one time).
Hopefully someone gets the deer if not we have to follow the hunt and get in front of them.We have shot deer 20kms from where we have started them.
Sambar are mainly solitary animals, they dont run in herds like red deer.
When hunting Sambar i dont allow anyone to shoot any other animals, Eg Three weeks ago one of the guys called me on the radio to tell me he could see a wild dog and thought the hounds might be chasing it , i told him that the hounds were not on the wild dog and to leave it to pass, ten minutes later he shot the stag .(His third deer in three hunts ).
Regarding pig hunting i dont have the time these days to travel the distance needed to find pigs, also the price of fuel is a set back. I have hunted them in the past with pig dogs and knives but i would rather hunt the Mighty Sambar deer with my hounds. One of the guys that hunts with me has a freind that went to northern Queensland three weeks ago and shot well over 300 pigs for the week.
About the article in Lovec, id seen it my father gets it every month.
Thats about it for now i hope ive answered some of your questions i have to get some sleep now as i have to get up early in the morning to go Stalking for Sambar and Fallow deer, then its up the bush again friday after lunch to hunt the Mighty Sambar with my hounds:icon_biggrin:
It would be nice to see some pictures. Welcome to our site Hound Hunter.

Aha,nice! I see you have lots of knowlege about huting Sika deer! And I see it is not simple at all! Please send us some photos of your hunting adventures! In Slovenija it is forbidden to hunt red deer and Doe with dogs,its only alowed to hunt rabbits,foxes,ducks....,and wild boars with dogs!
How do you hunt in your cuntry,I mean do you have to to have some license or make same exams or is it enaugh to just buy the "permision" and thats it (in Slovenija a person is only alowed to hunt if he/she makes 13 exams,or there must be one present who has it made) ?
Do you always hunt in grups,or can you hunt individualy too?
Do you have Bears? Volves?
Is your father Slovenc?:icon_lol:
Aha,one more thing,do you have any experience with Night Force rifle scopes?
Hound Hunter thanks for explaining to us some of your hunting ways.
Dober pogled!
Hello again
To answer some of Dolgins questions, firstly stalking means to hunt without dogs ,which can be alone or in small groups.
In Australia we also need a licence, firstly we must have a firearms licence
just to purchase and own a gun. A person must be 18 years of age before he or she can sit a test for their full licence. The test consists of a series of questions. Firstly 15 questions which must be answered correctly then a further 30 questions of which no more than 3 can be incorrect, the questions are mainly based on Safety. Then if you want to hunt game you must purchase a game licence to allow you to hunt game, if you want to hunt ducks you must also sit a wit test (Waterfowl Identification Test). Also if you want to hunt Sambar deer over hounds you must sit a test for this also.
Pigs, Goats, Foxes, Rabbits and Hares are not classified as game and you do not need a game licence to hunt and shoot them.You only require a game licence to hunt deer & game birds.
And no we dont have Bears & Wolves only Koala Bears:icon_evil:, but we do have wild dingoes that eat alot of small children every year:icon_lol:, just joking.
Yes both my parents are Slovenian and they both hunt. My father is 72 and still comes out on all the hunts and walks more of the bush than most of the younger guys.
Sorry i dont know much about the Night Force Rifle Scopes, I know about their spotlights but have never seen their scopes. If i was you i would save my dollars (Euro) and buy a Leopold Scope, you cannot go wrong.
Thank you all for your warm welcomes.
ps Check out my Album in my public profile i have put a few photos in there.
I will post more photos in my Album when i have more time.
Hello Fellow Hunters.
Three of us went stalking last thursday on some private property , 15 min before arriving the property owner phoned to tell us he could see five Sambar deer in his paddock (Field) feeding among his cattle. When we arrived they had already gone , so we spent the day stalking the forest and put up (Flushed) 6 deer, 2 of which we sighted but not the stag. The forest is very thick in parts and visibility is very limited, still a day in the bush is better than a day at work.
Friday at 1:30pm my father and i left home for a 2 1/2 hour drive to our chosen hunting area. We have finally received the rains we have been waiting for as it makes it easier to track the deer & also easier for the hounds to scent them. Saturday we had a succesfull hunt and a new guy Steve shot a large doe his first hunt and first deer, he was using my old 30/30 and put 2 well placed shots into her.
I have posted a photo of Steve and the doe (Axle in background).
The other 2 dogs are Tyson and Little Copper (Bitch).
The other deer is a spikey we got last week one of 3 deer that day & 2 beagle pups.
Sorry about the picture quality i was only using my phone camera.
Bye for now Hound Hunter
Nice pics Hound Hunter, well done :icon_biggrin::icon_exclaim:
Thanx for explonation!
And well done at hunting!:icon_biggrin: Nice hounds! One more question! What do you use dingo and fox skins for? Furr?
I see your friend Steve didnt use a rifle scope on your 30/30,he must see very good,oh,no the target was very big:icon_lol::icon_lol:!
On how far did he take the deer? I mean,was he that close that the 30/30 was enough? What calibers do you use most often?
(thats more than one Q.:icon_lol::icon_lol:)
Hello Dolgin
Foxes are an introduced speices to Australia and are classified as vermin they kill many birds and native animals so we are encouraged to shoot them, the DNRE were paying a bounty of $10 a fox not long ago.
One of the guys that hunt with me is starting up a taxidermy business so we will have to go on a fox shoot.
The 30/30 ejects the bullets from the top so it is not possible to mount a scope on it , the shoots were taken at the deer running as most are at about 35m, Steve is a very good shot though he shoots olympic skeet.
We are not allowed to use anything smaller than .270 with 130 grain projectiles for Sambar. I have shot deer with many calibres but am using a
.444 Marlin lever action with my own reloads at the moment.
You are right about the 30/30 being a bit light for sambar but if you put the bullet in right place it does its job.
I have put some more photos in my album, if u click on an image you can view a larger image.
Nice pics,uf its a big animal! Our red deer comes not much as 150-180 kilos! But even those are exceptions,most of them are up to 150 kilos heavy!
Question why dont you guys post photos in your albums, I have been looking at some of your user profiles and no one has any photos.
Question what does Mustela mean?.
Nice photos, Hound hunter! You can check most of our photos at forum, theme is trofeje.
Mustela is first name for scientiphic (latin) name for this animal: http://www.blueplanetbiomes.org/ermine.htm
Probably noone knows how to di it:icon_lol:!
http://www.moj-album.com/uredi/dolgin/1011033/

Mustela means you are a begginer,dont know how exactly its made,bud on every 100 posts you get another "nick"! When you goet to 100000 you are probably very old:icon_lol:

Gday guys,
Thanks for the explanation about what Mustela means, I hope you guys are not calling me a Weasel. :icon_sad:
Thanks for the tips on viewing your photos in this forum, they are GREAT Photos, but it would be nice if you guys set up your own albums so that i could put a face to your names.
I have a question for u all?
In the Lovec Magazine 5/2007 page 282 under the heading :Pomoc pri iskanju obstreljene divjadi vam nudijo: there is a guy named Brus Andrej from Logatec
does anyone know him ? I think he may be related to me as my father has relations in Logatec from his fathers side of the family.
Srecko ! I knew what the meaning of your name was, as i had an uncle here in Australia with the same name . He passed away many years ago and we burried him back in his home town in Slovenia.
I have set up another album in my user profile if anyone is interested, it is a mix of old photos that i have scanned from my Photo Album so the quality may not be good.
I have many 100s of Hunting Photos from over the years, I can keep posting more photos if u guys are interested.
I would love to see more of your photos as i think you have one of the most beautiful Countries in the world.
Hope to hear from u guys soon
Hound Hunter.
Hello Hound Hunter. Welcome to our pages and forum!
I see you have been hunting also in New Zeeland! Fantastic and one of the most beautifull country in the world. Animals found there perfect conditions for there lives. Australia is also beautifull only that here is much deserts inside.
Keep posting pictures and some of your hunting stories to us. We are relatively new forum so people didn't upload their pictures to profile yet. But eventually the'll do it.
Greetings to Australia!
Gday fellow hunters
Last weekend we hunted with another Hound Crew in a area we shot a big Sambar Stag in last year , we hunted for 2 days and shot 6 deer , 2 on the Friday and 4 on the Saturday.
Friday we got a Doe and a young Fawn and on Saturday a young Stag about 15 inches, 2 Does and a Spiker that i shot, the Hounds hunted really well and i had my Hounds come through on 4 of the deer shot.
Sorry but i did not have a chance to take any photos as we hunted hard all day, walked and ran many miles trying to get the hounds on to a good Stag, but no luck.
How have you guys been going, any luck in your hunting?.:icon_smile:
I have added some more photos into a new Album in my user profile (Click on show all Albums) you have to check, there may be more than 1 page in each Album.
These are a couple of photos from the last weekend that the guys took.
Harry checking out the scenery & Boris the Joker.
Cheers to all you Slovenian Hunters
Hound Hunter.
Were are the photos of that incredible hunting??':icon_lol:
Sorry Shadow23 , but i didn't get a chance to take any photo's, as I was trying to find a good stag that was living in this valley system.
I found his fresh prints late in the day, but it was to late to start dogs on him,
I didn't get out of the bush until dark. I will ask some of the other guys if they took any photos, as they cut up the deer's and carried out the meat.
Here is a photo of me and a Sambar Stag that i shot while stalking a few years ago.
We are are going for a hunt this weekend to an area we chased a good stag into 2 weeks ago, there was heaps of deer tracks, so with some luck we might get a couple of deer. Will let you know how we went, and also get some photos.
Cheers Hound Hunter.
Gday Guys
Here are a few photo's from Saturdays hunt.
We hunted hard all day and ended up with 3 deer, a young spiker,a small stag and a stag with 27inch antlers. The dogs and guys hunted well even though the weather was really bad (lots of rain and very windy)
Nice! How do you say congragulations,we say Lovski blagor??
