| ANTLER
QUALITY
Fallow hunting is conducted
in lightly timbered hill country, heavily timbered gully
heads and river flats and can be as physically demanding
as sambar hunting.
Like Shikars for sambar, fallow are
hunted from similarly equipped cabins on privately owned
grazing properties located in remote parts of the high
country.
Antler quality in Australia's wild fallow
can be very high and antlers which have scored in excess
of 260 Douglas points have been taken.
Watervalley Game Ranch also offers excellent fallow hunting with thousands being seen during a few days and some outstanding trophies are taken.
The rut occurs from late March through
April/May.
