I am going to Australia and New Zealand in the middle of May for a Study Abroad program that lasts 3 weeks :D. I am planning to stay a week to ten days after the program ends and would like to set up a hunting trip. I was wondering if anyone had any good or bad experiences with any outfitters. I would like to hunt a big game animal like a Red Stage, or waterfowl. If you have any information feel free to post it here, or PM me if you have lots of good info.;)

Watch out for snakes! I understand that they have the kind that can kill you real fast.

Yeah, pick me after you grab Michihunter!
My sister visited Australia for a study abroad program as well. She loved every minute of it. I had plans to fly out and visit her after her semester was over and maybe squeak in a hunt but had a large business proposal stop me.
Good luck and make sure you give us the details when you get back!
