Lifestyle blocks near town
Two to ten acres with a house, a garden being eaten by rabbits, a fox taking the chooks and deer in the orchard. These blocks are too close to neighbours for most shooters to touch.
Lifestyle blocks near town
A Victoria Police Public Place Permit lets us carry and use firearms on private land in built-up and semi-rural areas, something a recreational shooter cannot legally do. We notify the local police station before each session.
Everything is thermal and carefully placed, and nothing is left on the ground afterwards.
Most lifestyle-block jobs are one or two nights a year, timed to spring lambing on nearby farms when foxes are busiest, plus a rabbit night when the garden starts to suffer.
Common questions
Only with a Victoria Police Public Place Permit, which we hold. We also notify the local police station before each session.
Thermal optics mean no spotlights are used, and every session is planned around your property and timing to keep disturbance down.
Most lifestyle blocks are one or two nights a year, timed to spring and to when the garden or poultry start suffering.
What we control
No baits, no poisons, no risk to your dogs or stock. Every animal is identified through a thermal scope before a shot is taken.
Night thermal sessions timed around lambing, kidding and poultry losses. Dens located and mapped for follow-up visits.
Spring & autumn peakSmall-calibre work around warrens, dams and vineyard rows. Warren locations logged so you can rip or fumigate later.
Year-roundFallow, red and hog deer damaging fences, vines and pasture. Carcasses removed or dressed on site where you want the meat.
Game Licence heldPositive ID only. Collared, ear-tagged or neighbouring pets are never targeted, and we work with the Shire's cat rules.
Bush-edge propertiesShooting around stables, hay sheds, chook pens and feed rooms where baits are a danger to dogs, horses and owls.
Bait-freeWhere we work
From Mount Eliza to Portsea and across to Westernport. Night sessions are usually booked within a week of your assessment, and properties close to townships are handled under our Public Place Permit with local police notified before every job.
How it works
Free daytime visit. We walk the boundaries, find sign, map safe firing lanes and neighbours, and agree a plan with you.
Landholder authority signed and police notified. You don't chase anything.
Thermal optics, typically 4 hours from dusk. Every shot taken with a clear backstop and positive identification of the target.
A short tally and a map of dens and warrens the next morning, with a recommendation on whether a repeat visit is worth it.
Who you're dealing with
One licensed operator, not a franchise. You deal with the person who turns up, and the same person every visit.

Your first night session is free. We want you to see the tally before you pay for anything. Travel anywhere on the Peninsula is included.
One free night per property. Multi-property and council or conservation-group work quoted separately. Payment on completion by bank transfer or card.
