Training and Support for Landholders

Teaching Skills for Long-Term Feral Pest Management

As the saying goes: “Give a man a fish and he eats for a day. Teach a man to fish, and he eats for a lifetime.”
At Hunter Feral Control, we apply that same logic to feral pest management.

We recognise that we can’t be on every property, every day—but feral animals often behave as if they are. That’s why we believe in sharing knowledge and empowering landholders with the skills and confidence to manage feral pests long after we’ve left.

Rather than keeping everything behind closed doors and leaving clients dependent on us, we aim to build partnerships based on education, support, and practical training. The only fair condition: if we invest time and experience, we ask that we are compensated appropriately for the value delivered.

Where We Add Real Value

Through our services, we’ve identified a common gap—many property owners and managers:

  • Don’t have access to firearms or pest-specific equipment

  • May own firearms but lack confidence in how to use them effectively

  • Haven’t had exposure to modern tools like thermal scopes or suppressed rifles

  • Are unsure how to legally and safely acquire the equipment or training needed

This is where we step in—not as a supplier or a salesman—but as an experienced guide.

Training and Support Services

We offer a range of training options and advisory services to help clients take control of their own pest management, including:

  • Firearms Licensing (NSW only) – Guidance through the application process, categories, and safe use conditions

  • General Training – Safety, legal responsibilities, and practical skills

  • Procurement Assistance – Help sourcing the right firearms, optics and accessories

  • Regulatory Compliance – Understanding your obligations and record-keeping requirements

  • In-Field Training – Real-time coaching on your property, using your equipment or ours

  • Rifle Setup and Zeroing – Ensuring accuracy and reliability for humane and effective use

  • Safe Storage Advice – How to meet legal storage requirements and protect your investment

Whether you’re starting from scratch or refining your skills, we provide tailored support based on your level of experience, comfort, and goals.

No Judgement, Just Practical Help

We understand that not everyone feels comfortable around firearms or the idea of taking control themselves. That’s completely okay. Through our trusted network of professionals, licensed retailers, and trainers, we can connect you with people who will help—without judgment and with your needs in mind.
