How It Works — the 30-Second Version
You’ve got ferals on your place. Pigs rooting up paddocks, foxes taking lambs, deer smashing fences, rabbits destroying revegetation. You’ve probably tried baiting, maybe got a quote for professional shooters, maybe just put up with it. We get it — it’s a hassle you don’t need.
Here’s what we do: we match you with one or two carefully vetted bowhunters from the Australian Bowhunters Association. They carry public liability insurance, they follow a strict code of conduct, and they operate entirely on your terms. You tell us what pests to target, when they can come, which parts of the property are off-limits, and whether you want to be around or not. Simple as that.
Why bowhunting? Because it’s silent. No gunshots spooking your stock. No poison risk to your working dogs. No expensive contractors. Just quiet, selective pest control from people who genuinely know what they’re doing. If you want the full comparison, check out bowhunting vs baiting vs trapping.

What Pests Can We Help With?
All feral animals in Western Australia are declared pests under the Biosecurity and Agriculture Management Act. As a landowner, you’re actually obligated to manage them. We make that easy. Here are the main species our hunters target across WA:
Feral Pigs
Rooting up paddocks, contaminating water, destroying fences. Worst in the South West and Peel.
Feral Deer
Smashing fences, competing with livestock, damaging crops. Declared pests across all of WA.
Foxes
Taking lambs, killing poultry, wiping out native wildlife. A problem on nearly every farm in WA.
Rabbits
Devastating crops, orchards and revegetation. One of WA’s most widespread pests.
Feral Goats
Competing with livestock for feed, damaging bushland. A growing issue across pastoral zones.
Feral Cats
Killing native wildlife at a staggering rate. Targeted only when specifically approved.

Learn whyCommon Questions from Landowners
“Is it actually free?”
Yes, mate. No invoices, no hidden fees, no contracts. Bowhunters do this because they love it and they want to help. You get free pest control, they get access to land they wouldn’t otherwise have. It’s a genuinely fair exchange. Read the full explanation here.
“What about my dogs and livestock?”
Bowhunting poses zero risk to your dogs — unlike 1080 baiting, which kills working dogs every year across WA. Hunters operate well away from stock areas unless you say otherwise, and they only target the species you’ve approved. Your animals are safe. Compare methods on the comparison page.
“What if I don’t like it?”
You stop, they stop. No notice period, no hard feelings. You’re in control the entire time. One phone call and it’s sorted. We’ve never had a landowner regret trying it, but if it’s not for you, that’s completely fine.
“Will strangers just show up?”
Absolutely not. Nobody sets foot on your property without your say-so. Every visit is pre-arranged. No drop-ins, no extras, no mates tagging along uninvited. You set the rules. We make sure they’re followed. Check the what to expect page for the full process.
“Are they insured?”
Yes. Every hunter we connect you with holds current ABA membership, which includes public liability insurance specifically for hunting activities. This is non-negotiable — no insurance, no access.
