"After a lifetime of advocating for Sustainable management of our historic wild deer herds as an asset to landholders and the community, it is a relief to see the major hunting clubs and organisations moving in the same direction"

RIDGE is fighting for sustainable management of wild deer!
The challenges facing the overall management of wild deer in Queensland have been the result of 150 years of mismanagement and lack of support from government for effective and sustainable management programs for wild deer.
​
​
With very limited legal definitions and laws surrounding "Hunting" it has presented a liability issue for landholders and hunters alike.
​
​
The current legislation has a robust set of interrelated industry standards and procedures driving the promotion of eradication and steering away from ethical sustainable management.
Support RIDGE and its vison to have sustainable management of wild deer in Queensland.
RIDGE is fighting for preservation of hunting ethics & culture
Without any provisions for "Recreational Hunting" in Queensland much of Queensland primary industry and peripheral management will be greatly effected leading to the loss of our diverse industry, local knowledge and resources.
​
​
To preserve hunting traditions and culture hunters need to support sustainable methods of management and reject eradication principles as an overall approach.
​
Hunting can be a net positive for the state of Queensland and every Queenslander with a sustainable management system in place for wild deer.
RIDGE is fighting for industry and landowners
RIDGE supports localised management of wild deer and recognises wild deer as a sustainable resource.
​
​
RIDGE in conjunction with Australian wild country adventures has developed a system of management that can assist landowners with management of wild deer.
​
​
For over 30 years RIDGE and Australian wild country adventures has provided sustainable management of wild deer in Queensland.
