Immerse yourself in all things deer in Australia with our newly introduced series, "The Roar” on the Australian Deer Podcast, covering all the latest news related to wild deer in Australia. In our first episode, we covered a range of topics with our esteemed guest sean Kilkenny, the leader of advocacy and deer management with the Australian Deer Association.
Our discussion began with an exploration of the Animal Care and Protection Bill (VIC), detailing the changes in legislation from animal welfare to animal rights and explaining its impact on deer hunters. We highlighted the importance of regulations and how they influence the perspective on hunting, and the significant changes in animal rights that may affect recreational deer hunting.
We also elaborated on the developments regarding land tenure in the central highlands of Victoria, associating it with the termination of native timber harvesting. The significance and potential implications of any changes in land tenure for recreational activities including deer hunting with dogs were explored. A new promising initiative, the Great Outdoors Task Force represents a step forward in acknowledging recreational land users.
Lastly, we wrapped up our podcast with an overview of the recent Tasmanian elections, foreseeing no immediate alterations to hunting practices in Tasmania.
