The vineyards and horse properties across the Moorooduc plains sit on sandy soils that rabbits love and along bush edges that foxes travel.
Moorooduc · Moorooduc Plains · Tuerong
Rabbits on the sandy Moorooduc soils ring-bark young vines and chew horse paddocks and gardens. We shoot small-calibre along the rows, dams and fence lines after cellar-door hours and work the warrens for ripping.
Foxes move along the bush edges and creek lines onto the horse and lifestyle blocks, taking poultry and threatening foaling paddocks. Night sessions are timed to the season and your losses.
Deer come through from the Tuerong and Red Hill side onto the vines and are worked along the bush boundary with carcasses removed.
What we shoot
No baits, no poisons, no risk to your dogs or stock. Every animal is identified through a thermal scope before a shot is taken.
Night thermal sessions timed around lambing, kidding and poultry losses, with a follow-up visit where numbers need it.
Spring & autumn peakSmall-calibre work around warrens, dams and vineyard rows. We knock numbers down so ripping or fumigation can finish the job.
Year-roundFallow, red and hog deer damaging fences, vines and pasture. Carcasses removed or dressed on site where you want the meat.
Game Licence heldPositive ID only. Collared, ear-tagged or neighbouring pets are never targeted, and we work with the Shire's cat rules.
Bush-edge propertiesShooting around stables, hay sheds, chook pens and feed rooms where baits are a danger to dogs, horses and owls.
Bait-freeWho we work for
Most of our work is for commercial and agricultural operations that lose stock, pasture and produce to feral animals. We run scheduled programs sized to the property, not one-off callouts.
Deer and rabbits stripping shoots and ring-barking young vines. Monthly programs from budburst, worked around cellar-door hours and harvest.
Vineyard controlFox predation on lambs and calves, rabbits in pasture and fodder crops, deer through fences. Per-hectare and per-program rates for working farms.
Commercial farmsRabbits and deer on young trees, seedlings and turf. Bait-free around produce, timed around picking and planting.
Orchards & gardensFoxes around foaling paddocks and rats in feed rooms, all bait-free so your horses, dogs and owls stay safe.
Horse propertiesSmall blocks near town where most shooters can't legally work. We hold the Public Place Permit that makes it possible.
Hobby farmsFox and feral cat control on private land bordering reserves, protecting hooded plovers, bandicoots and native wildlife.
Conservation workWhere we work
From Mount Eliza to Portsea and across to Westernport. Night sessions are usually booked within a week of your assessment, and properties close to townships are handled under our Public Place Permit with local police notified before every job.
How it works
Free daytime visit. We walk the boundaries, find sign, map safe firing lanes and neighbours, and agree a plan with you.
Landholder authority signed and police notified. You don't chase anything.
Thermal optics, typically 4 hours from dusk. Every shot taken with a clear backstop and positive identification of the target.
We tell you how many were taken and whether a repeat visit is worth it, timed to when it will have the most effect.
Who you're dealing with
One licensed operator, not a franchise. You deal with the person who turns up, and the same person every visit.
Pricing
Your first night session is free. We want you to see the tally before you pay for anything. Travel anywhere on the Peninsula is included.
One free night per property. Multi-property and council or conservation-group work quoted separately. Payment on completion by bank transfer or card.
Why it's done properly
Victorian Category A/B licence endorsed for vermin and feral animal control.
Victoria Police permit for work on semi-rural blocks near houses and roads, with police notified before each job.
Public liability cover written for firearm use on feral and vermin animals. Certificate available on request.
Thermal identification before every shot. Head or chest shots only, and we follow the national humane shooting codes.
