Antlerless deer hunting booking system now open

The public land deer hunting ballot for the 2021 antlerless deer season is now open with a new online booking system in place to simplify the process for recreational hunters.

This system follows on from the success of the streamlined ballot for the stag season.

Access to public land will be allocated through the Eventbrite platform and opens for registrations today.

Recreational hunters will be able to select dates between 7 April and 15 November 2021 to hunt antlerless deer, noting some reserves are closed at times during the season.

Hunting groups, with a maximum of four hunters, must nominate a party leader to book on behalf of the group and the party leader can book up to two spots over the antlerless season.

During the 2021 season, hunting is authorised in the following reserves:

• Great Western Tiers Conservation Area;
• Top Marshes Conservation Area;
• Five Mile Pinnacles Conservation Area;
• Central Plateau Conservation Area: Brenton Rivulet block (PWS) and Mother Lord Plains block (HT);
