Because Coricudgy is shared public land used by other visitors as well as hunters, it pays to check the current forest status and any closures before you travel there.

The region
Hunting in the New England Tablelands
The New England Tablelands between Tamworth, Armidale and Glen Innes is quietly one of the best deer districts in Australia. Fallow deer are established in serious numbers through the granite belt, red deer herds are expanding year on year, and pigs and goats work the gorge country that falls away east toward the escarpment.
