The intermediate course has a very similar layout to the beginner’s course with the main differences being that you do the shooting.
This course is set out for the hunter that has experience but requires a little fine tuning.
You will be given more options over the weekend as to how self-reliant you wish to be.
Note: Whilst our courses are primarily based around the sourcing of meat and not trophy taking, if the chance arises for you to shoot a stag (male) there is fees associated with this that range in price from $2000-$6600
Sambar stag fees: stag under 20 inches = $2000, stag 20-25 inches = $4500, stag 25-30 inches = $5500, 30 inches plus = $6600. please note that these prices are gst exclusive and must be paid for prior to commencing any hunt.

2 Day Course
Arrive in the afternoon for camp set up followed by dinner. The following morning we will be up early for a tea or coffee in order to leave before sunrise. We will aim to be back at 12pm for lunch and processing of animals etc, before leaving for an afternoon hunt, returning after dark for dinner. The following mornings hunt will depart before sunrise again and aim to be finished earlier then the previous day by around 9-10 am, with enough time for a bite to eat and to pack-up before leaving the property
Butchering
If you would like the option to run through meat break down/ cuts of meats and sausage making, this is the option for you. This will need to be decided amongst your group prior to commencing, as we will need to allocate time for this. Please note, this means you will need to sacrifice one of your hunts. Note: extra costs will be applicable for cryovac bags, sausage fillings, breadcrumbs, skins, etc. This will be payable on the day.
