Dunroman Hunting

02/12/2024

Paul and I have decided that we need to charge more money as we do go above and beyond to keep our guest happy for example just look at this magnificent water view we recently organised to arrive overnight just so our hunters could wake up in water front accommodation!

135mm overnight Friday night to Saturday midday. How absolutely beautiful, will set us up for the summer. Feeling most grateful.

Hey folks
Quick message to let you know that Dunroman is ok and unaffected by the Dirranbandi fire, we are 20 odd km east of the affected area. Much kinder weather here today, still very hot but not as windy as yesterday.

So it begins….. HARVEST 2024…..quickly followed by the usual trials and tribulations that come with it, an exciting and nervous time of the year, in equal measure.

On the feral animal front though……..how delightful that the pigs (the ones ye all have missed) have made such comfy ‘homes’ in the middle of our barley crop, such soft bedding, smells good to and most importantly no need to walk for miles to find dinner when your camped on top of it!

For those hunters who are booked in over the next month or so, our expectations are high…….really high, we want to see a respectful tally of pigs shot, it won’t get any easier than this……do not disappoint (he he he)

…….and meet AJ. AJ is Pauls new offsider. AJ is our new early warning and anti-theft system. AJ just has that look. Nice AJ......

After a significant period of social media ‘absence’, we are back with a long awaited update from Dunroman.

We are having an absolute cracker of a winter, literally, I think we’ve all been partially frozen since early June but a beautiful season. Crops are all looking great, cattle are fat and happy and the outlook is very positive.

Also a great season for pigs! Their everywhere and in numbers. A few truckloads of old grain went out a week ago, we will send through a progress picture shortly to see how much activity there may have been. Plenty of foxes, feral cats to take care of as well.

We do have a few available spots through to December so please get in touch if interested.

Happy hunting.

Kind regards
Paul and Sally

Who would have thought we’d last this long!

We are celebrating 15 years of welcoming recreational hunters to Dunroman this month. June 2009 we had our first group arrive through Inland Hunting Properties, it has been an interesting and rewarding journey, one we are so pleased we took and one that continues to allow us to meet some great people from all walks of life.

Thank you to all our hunters who have supported us over the years, those who continue to return and we hope to keep Dunroman Hunting ticking along for a few years yet.

It is at this point most businesses celebrating a milestone would offer some sort of a deal, discount or giveaway….yeah well sadly your dealing with farmers and no farmer ever ever in the history of the world gave away something for nothing…sorry.

Thanks everyone. See you soon.

Kind regards
Paul and Sally

What a Great Result…….….

Congrats to Cooper, Austin, Tom and Royce for taking out a decent number of pigs during their recent stay with Dunroman Hunting.

27 in total. Conditions were not exactly ideal either as we had 46mm a few days before hand so the boys were on bikes and not able to spotlight. Well done fellas we only wished you had got one of the tagged pigs, would have been happy to hand over the $500.

Pig Hunting Lesson 1 - Fancy gear and the latest tech does not get you the pigs, all you need is grit and determination!

A few grain piles went out recently just to test the waters…………see what might be around, also to try and get the pigs out of the grass, even if for a short period of time. Yes..……. there are still a few around!!

We still have some availability over the next few months including the June long weekend (not Qld) which is now available after a cancellation so please get in touch if you’re interested.

Kind regards

Nobody has a colour palette quite like Mother Nature and she certainly had it on show this morning.
I wonder what the weather gods have in store for us today??

The Whole Family are Welcome….

We are not all about hunting, we love to see hunters bringing their families out to experience our beautiful part of the world.

Dunroman ‘Farmstay’ can offer all sorts of options to the non hunters in the group:

• Bush walks
• Great photography locations
• A whole heap of barnyard animals
• Peace and quite
• A taste for farm life
• Big skies that make for amazing sunrises and sunsets

So when you are planning your next break from the rat race or family holiday please don’t disregard Dunroman Hunting as we are much more than just a hunting destination!

……and on that note, for those wives who are not that keen on roughing it at the hut we have another, far more comfortable option coming soon!

Please get in touch for available dates.

Kind regards
Paul and Sally

We have just gone through that section of rollcoaster ride called The Drenching!!

The heavens truly opened yesterday afternoon and delivered 120mm in around 2 hours.

The start to 2024 has been reasonably kind to us here at Dunroman, the country is looking good but wouldn’t complain if we had some more rain. Not happy with this humidity though, she needs to be reminded we are not North Qld.

Hunting Update
Conditions are a little more challenging now than before the rain to pick up any number of pigs HOWEVER this does NOT mean they have suddenly disappeared it just means that they are a little harder to find, a little more effort is required! You can be assured that the numbers are still here in droves. Having quads or bikes does make it much easier or walking the pig pads works a treat too. We won’t be putting any more old grain out until the current numbers are a bit more under control.

Availability
We have a few spare dates through to the end of February, some in early April and heaps from mid-May onwards so please get in touch for pricing or any other questions you may have. Don’t forget non hunters, kids and spouses more than welcome.

Kind regards
Paul and Sally

PS This is Fergus, our future Highlander stud bull (once he grows up a bit!) isn’t he gorgeous!

Wishing everyone a very happy new year and a safe and successful 2024.

We'd like to thank all our hunters who came out during 2023, you made it our best year yet so thank you and we look forward to welcoming you all back along with some new victims in 2024.

Kind regards
Paul and Sally
