[QUOTE="MagnumManiac, post: 2233545, member: 10755"] In my state (Victoria) in Australia, we have 3 distinct minimums for deer. Hog deer, minimum is 6mm. Fallow deer, minimum is 6mm also and Red deer/Sambar deer is minimum 27 cal. We have other deer like Rusa which have bred with Sambar and they have a 27 cal minimum as well. We also cannot hunt deer unless we possess a Game License in my state, even interstate hunters have to have one. We don’t have seasons on Fallow, Reds or Rusa/Sambar deer, they can be hunted all year, but we do on Hog deer, it is the whole of April from half an hour before sunrise to half an hour after sunset for each day of the month. We get 2 tags, a hind and a stag. I have been on public land dozens of times and only seen a handful of deer, they are very small and elusive. On private land I have filled both tags each time I have gone. These small deer are the hardest deer I have ever hunted. A blind works, but a tree stand is where it all comes together. Cheers.
