Game licence entitlements for deer hunting continue to go from strength to strength. With now over 48,000 deer licence holders.
This reflects a growth rate of 550% since 1996.
Recreational deer hunting is predominantly undertaken by males, who comprise 95% of all licence holders.
Deer hunters are younger than other licence holders, with the largest cohort (10,438) aged between 28-37.
The geographical spread of deer hunters tends to be from the state's centre to the Far East.
This sharply contrasts with duck hunting, where the largest cohort is men aged over 68.
