Npws game bird management program

Under this program, hunters who have met certain training and licensing requirements can apply for a game bird licence to be involved in this program. Currently, NPWS is partnering with experienced and skilled volunteer shooters to help reduce pests in 12 national parks and reserves. The Northern Territory currently allows the hunting of feral pigs and waterfowl under a permit system.

Waterfowl hunting in the Northern Territory is seasonal and is declared by a notice each year in the Government Gazette. Permits to hunt pigs are issued for a period of one year from August 1 to July 31 each year.

Permits are issued to allow hunting of pigs within the Northern Territory hunting reserves of Shoal Bay and Harrison Dam. Permits to hunt pigs on designated crown land can also be obtained from the Department of Planning and Infrastructure. To hunt on private land or hunting concession, you require only landowner permission. To hunt on Aboriginal Lands, a permit from the respective Land Council and endorsement from the Traditional Owner is required. Hunters can also participate in the Back Country Hunting Program.

This initiative is available to Northern Territory residents where hunters must be members of approved hunting organisations, undertake a program accreditation course and have the appropriate permit to participate. All waterfowl hunters are required to obtain a Waterfowl Hunting Permit prior to hunting, whether hunting on or off the Parks and Wildlife Hunting Reserves.

The Waterfowl Hunting Permit details the conditions that apply to the annual season, which must be adhered to by hunters. In the Northern Territory, the following species are classified as feral and can be taken any time. The following animals have been declared pests.
