If you’ve never had a bowhunter on your property before, the idea might feel a bit strange. Fair enough — you’re letting someone you don’t know walk around your place with a bow. We understand the hesitation, and that’s exactly why we’ve built this process to be as transparent and controlled as possible.
The whole thing is designed around one principle: you’re in charge. From the moment you register to every visit that follows, nothing happens without your explicit approval. No one shows up unannounced. No one hunts species you haven’t approved. No one goes into areas you’ve marked off-limits. If anything doesn’t sit right with you, one phone call and it stops.
Here’s the step-by-step walkthrough so you know exactly what to expect. If you want the shorter version, check the landowner hub for the 30-second overview.
Step 1
You Register Your Property
Fill in a quick form on our registration page with your property details — location, size, what pests you’re dealing with. Takes about two minutes. No commitment, no contracts.
We ask for the basics: where your place is, how big it is, what ferals are causing grief, and the best way to reach you. That’s it. Your details stay private and are never shared without your permission.
Step 2
We Call You for a Chat
Within 48 hours, we’ll give you a ring. It’s a relaxed, no-pressure conversation about your property and your pest situation.
We’ll ask about the layout of your place, where the pest activity is worst, what you’ve tried before, and what your concerns are. This is your chance to ask us anything. We want you to feel completely comfortable before anything moves forward. If it’s not for you, that’s totally fine — no hard feelings.
Step 3
We Match You with 1–2 Vetted Hunters
Based on your location, pest types and preferences, we’ll match you with one or two hunters from our vetted network.
Every hunter in our network holds current ABA membership with public liability insurance. They’ve been vetted by us for experience, ethics and reliability. We don’t send randoms — we match you with people who know your region and your pest species. You’ll know their names and a bit about them before they ever set foot on your place.
Step 4
We Agree on Rules Together
You set the rules. Which species to target, which areas are off-limits, when they can visit, how they access the property.
This is the most important step. You tell us exactly how you want things run. No-go zones near the house, sheds or stock? Sorted. Weekdays only? No worries. Want them to call before every visit? Done. Nothing happens without your say-so. You set the rules. We make sure they’re followed.
Step 5
First Visit Is Supervised
The first time a hunter comes out, it’s a meet-and-greet on your terms. Walk the boundaries, show them the lay of the land, point out any concerns.
Think of this as a handshake visit. The hunter gets to see the property, understand the terrain, note the no-go zones, and meet you face to face. You get to size them up, ask questions, and decide if you’re comfortable having them back. There’s no hunting on this first visit unless you specifically want there to be. It’s about building trust.
Step 6
Ongoing Visits on Your Terms
After the first visit, ongoing pest control happens on a schedule you’re happy with. Every visit is pre-arranged. No drop-ins, ever.
Some landowners want weekly visits. Others prefer once a month or just during peak pest season. It’s entirely up to you. After each visit, you’ll get a report on what was done — pests taken, activity spotted, anything worth noting. If you want to change the schedule, the rules, or stop altogether, one phone call and it’s sorted. No notice period, no hard feelings.
The Ground Rules — What Every Hunter Must Follow
These aren’t guidelines or suggestions. These are the rules, and every hunter in our network agrees to them before they’re matched with any property. Break them once, you’re out. No second chances.
What Does Bowhunting Actually Look Like on a Farm?
Here’s the thing — it’s nothing like what most people imagine. There’s no noise, no commotion, no disruption to your day. A bowhunter arrives quietly, usually at dawn or dusk when pests are most active. They move slowly through the bush or along fence lines, targeting specific animals at close range. It’s patient, precise work.
Your stock won’t be disturbed. Your dogs are safe — unlike 1080 baiting, there’s zero poison risk. Your neighbours won’t hear a thing. Most of the time, you won’t even know someone’s been on the property until they send you the post-visit report.
Carcasses are disposed of properly — buried well away from water sources, tracks and buildings, or at designated sites you’ve agreed on. Everything is handled. All you need to do is carry on with your day while someone else quietly takes care of the feral problem you’ve been dealing with for years.
Curious about how bowhunting compares to other methods? The comparison page breaks it all down. And if you want to understand why people do this for free, the free pest control page explains the fair exchange that makes this work for everyone.
Sounds fair enough?
If you’re dealing with ferals and this all sounds reasonable, register your property and we’ll start with a chat. No obligation, no contracts. Just a conversation about whether we can help. Plenty of WA landowners have been where you are — sceptical at first, sorted within a month.
