Services

Vermin control, done by the rifle

Every job starts with a walk of the property and a plan. We match calibre, optics and method to the species and the country — then we remove the problem.

Deer & Feral Deer Control

Deer strip crops, ruin garden beds and fences, and turn dangerous on the roads. Stalk and night shooting to bring numbers down humanely and legally.

Feral Pig & Goat Control

Thermal night operations to cut pig numbers before they root up another acre of crop, and to clear goats out of scrub, gullies and fence lines.

Rabbit, Fox & Feral Cat Management

Sustained population control programs for rabbits, foxes, feral cats and hares on farms, stations and rural blocks — not a one-hit fix.

Wild Dogs & Nuisance Animals

Protect lambs, calves and poultry from wild dogs and foxes, and clear rats, mice and nuisance birds from sheds, yards and the homestead.

Night Operations

We hunt when the pests do

Most problem animals move after dark. Our thermal and night-vision rigs let us work paddocks and pasture safely at night — positive target ID, disciplined backstops, clean shots.

  • Thermal scopes and night-vision rigs for minimal disturbance to stock
  • Positive identification before every shot — no exceptions
  • Full compliance with state and territory pest-management and firearms laws

About

Out here for the long haul

Shiprock Hunting is an Australian operation — shooters first, with thirty years of long-range, pest-control and predator work for landholders who need results, not excuses. We know how deer, pigs and rabbits behave on Australian country, and that's what makes the difference between a bad season and a fixed one.

Every animal is taken humanely and within the law. Every property is left better than we found it. That's the whole business model.
