The region

Hunting in the Gippsland

Gippsland packs more hunting variety into one region than anywhere else in Victoria. Sambar fill the foothill forests from Erica east to the border, the coastal plain holds Australia's only huntable hog deer, and the wetlands around the Gippsland Lakes host classic decoy duck shooting each autumn season.
