The region
Hunting in the Snowy Mountains
The Snowy Mountains and the Monaro fringe hold some of the most exciting deer hunting in New South Wales. Sambar pushing north from the Victorian border country have established through the alpine gullies and timbered faces, while fallow deer and the odd red deer work the grazing country toward Cooma, Adaminaby and Jindabyne.
