5 Australian Animals You Can Legally Hunt with a Crossbow
Crossbow hunting in Australia is gaining popularity, especially among those who value silent precision and ethical harvests. While hunting regulations vary by state and territory, there are several species that you can legally pursue with a crossbow—especially when using elite gear from Ravin Crossbows Australia.
⚠️ Always check your local hunting and weapons laws before using a crossbow, as they differ significantly across Australia.
1. Feral Pigs
One of Australia’s most destructive invasive species, feral pigs are legal to hunt in many regions. Crossbows like the Ravin R500 offer the speed and power needed to penetrate their thick hides for a quick, humane kill.
2. Feral Goats
Feral goats roam rugged terrain across Australia, causing environmental damage and competing with native species. Crossbows offer a stealthy approach for clean shots, especially in tight or rocky landscapes.
3. Feral Deer (Certain Species)
Species such as red deer, fallow deer, and sambar may be hunted with crossbows in some Australian states under proper permits. Using a Ravin crossbow provides pinpoint accuracy and the stopping power necessary for ethical deer hunting.
4. Foxes
Although small, foxes are invasive predators that impact native wildlife. With Ravin’s ultra-compact models like the Ravin R26, hunters can stalk or ambush foxes silently and precisely.
5. Rabbits
A long-time pest across Australian farmland, rabbits are legal to hunt in most areas. Crossbows give landowners and hunters a quiet way to control populations without scaring off other game.
