The Victorian Hunter Education Course 2025, a comprehensive residential weekend program set in the heart of sambar country at the stunning Forest Edge (Neerim East).

This course is a unique blend of theory and hands-on practical sessions, tailored for both new and experienced hunters. Over the weekend, you'll explore a wide range of topics, including:

  • An introduction to Australia’s deer species
  • Hunting and the law
  • Firearm safety and firearms for deer hunting
  • Animal welfare and responsible hunting practices
  • Deer tracking and stalking sambar
  • Carrying out and breaking down game
  • Navigation, meat care, caping, and trophy care
  • A full afternoon field trip into prime deer habitat
  • Deer management and the future of Australia’s wild deer and deer hunting

Last year’s esteemed presenters included Paul Boag, Peter Burke, Rob Fickling, Gavin Counsell, Emma Sears, and many more, making this course unmatched in quality and expertise.

As Australia’s longest-running and most respected deer hunter education program, this course sets the standard for hunter education across the Southern Hemisphere.

The course is fully inclusive – just bring yourself, your sleeping gear, and appropriate field clothing. We can also accommodate any special dietary requirements if requested in advance.

We hope to see you there for an unforgettable weekend of learning, growth, and camaraderie in the heart of the Victorian wilderness.
