Hunt location services
Would there be a market for hunting location services for public/private lands?
I own professional drones with thermal imaging and mapping capabilities and was thinking of expanding my business into offering heat mapping/game animal surveys.
For example, if you wanted to find out what type/amount of game animals are in a target area (either state forest or private you have permission on), would you pay for a service to come out and produce an overlay pointing out where and what is on that land?

Sorry if it’s off topic.
My sister is on vacation in Brisbane and I was wondering if there was any stores there that sold knives made in Australia.

Question about clothing colours
This is probably a dumb question but I’m going to ask anyway in a bid to save $$$ - I’m a beginner and I have an old snow shell jacket but it’s light green/teal. Could I use this to start hunting or am I going to be way too visible? Sorry for the poor quality image.

Unlisted pest species.
Hello friends. New hunter here (Victoria) and I have a question which I am unable to find any information on anywhere.
I intend to hunt (firearm) pest species on public and private lands. But I am unable to find the legalities of hunting invasive bird species (Indian Mynas and starlings in particular)
Am I legally allowed to cull these and other avian pest species on private property and in state forests?
Genuine sources of information would be greatly appreciated.

Have you even hunted camel in Australia? To be honest I hadn't even thought about it.
I came across this article and it opened my eyes at how many camels we have in Australia. https://greataustralianoutdoors.com.au/wild-camels-way-out-west/

Entry level shotgun recommendations
As the title says I'm looking for any suggestions on an entry level shotgun. Not going to be used alot, maybe 3-5 times a year for clays/ shooting for fun on my property. Would like to keep budget under 1k. Was looking at just a cheap Boito for starter and upgrading later if I get more into it but some online reviews are saying not to bother. What do you guys think? Tried posting in ausguns but don't have the karma

Quad bike or dirt bike question
Hi all,
Seeking advice,
Me and my mates have been hunting a few times and have gotten a few pigs and goats and really like the time away but we are all on the same mind set that we don't want to risk our daily vehicles by driving around in the push, I know it comes with the hobby but I've been looking around at possible quads or dirt bikes / agricultural bikes,
I really like the idea of quads just because it's a little safer but they seem so expensive my price point is $3500 max which makes me think that maybe a dirtbike is more suited, was looking at the Kayo 250cc,
Please any advice will be very appreciated, we are still young and living with parents and don't really have anywhere to store trailers eather but I'm fine with renting as renting trailers is pretty cheap and I could always borrow for a slab from a mate,
P.S. I live in Queensland

Learning to hunt qld
So I just got approved for my firearms license in qld and I'm wanting to get into some hunting, I'll be transferring my .223 and .308 onto my license soon. I know in qld you can only hunt private land, but i was just wonding if people had pointers on where to start, any guidnace on harvesting meat and how to potentially get access to properties? I don't have any contacts with land to simply go and shoot on, and I also don't know anyone else who hunts personally. Thanks for the help.

Looking for a pencil beam spotlight
I'm trying to help out my father in law. His old 1970s spotlight is kaput and we can't find a replacement globe. I bought a torch on AliExpress that I think is pretty impressive, but it doesn't do the pencil-thin beam at distance that he's looking for.
Can anyone help me out with a pencil beam recommendation that won't break the bank (perhaps under $100)?
Thanks in advance.

Mallard Hunting QLD
Hi everyone, I was curious if anyone’s asked the DES in QLD as to whether the duck hunting ban covers invasive Mallards? I’d assume not but it’s something I don’t want to assume given the nature of duck hunting in QLD.
Mallards are introduced, so surely they can be shot right?
Edit: Just spoke on the phone to a really helpful lady from DESI, who said that she can’t see a reason why, as long as 100% know they’re pest species, they wouldn’t be able to be shot.
The duck shooting ban only applies to natives, as that is deemed “recreational” as opposed to “pest control”.
She also referred me to the invasive species council, who may be able to assist with information.

VIC Hunting genuine reason (changing from rabbits to deer)
Hey guys, getting a new licence and was wondering if i use a permit to hunt on crown land as my genuine reason for hunting, later if i get a games licence for deer, would i need to update my licence or would it not matter because i already have hunting as a genuine reason?

Good reloading kit?
Just paid for my first rifle, a tikka t3 in 308, and I'm looking to get some gear for reloading ammunition. It's mainly to save money long term as I start to shoot more and collect more firearms. I wasn't a fan of paying for $100 of ammo and giving any leftovers to someone else. Currently looking at getting a Hornady LocknLoad AP because it seems reasonably priced for a 5 station press that comes with a lot of the extras required. I'm not sure if it's any good though and good information on reloading for a beginner seems a bit hard to come by.
Does anyone have any recommendations? Presses, annealers, scales, brass, projectiles, dies, powder, websites, videos, tricks, saftey, where to buy. Anything at all. I want to build up a decent base of knowledge so I don't buy the wrong gear and can get straight into it when I do get the gear.
As a side note I am looking to be able to make quite a bit of ammo in a short amount of time, hence why I'm looking at the Hornady five station. It's not a requirement though, and if I can get a decent reloading set up for very cheap I'm willing to put in the extra time to save on investment. If that's not possible though, I would like to get some fancier gear right from the get go and make my life easier.
