I've always wondered as it doesn't really seem to get much attention from Americans. I wonder if it's because a lot of people just don't know they exist or whether they just don't find them enticing.
In the day and age of mountain hunting raining supreme and people always looking for another challenge it's seems to fit the bill.
I'm talking about the aussie sambar.
A solitary deer, built more like a cow than a deer and weifhing on average around 700lb (though they get much bigger) that lives in the rugged mountains of Australia's south east. Some people hunt years (like up to a decade) before shooting their first stag. That's not because there isn't enough though. My states yearly harvest is estimated between 40-50,000 animals and the population is still growing!
I've offered them up as hunt swaps or simply suggested people put them on their lists to hunt one day but most Americans just don't seem to have an interest in them.
I quite enjoy hunting them, given that you can do some backpacking and get off the grid surrounded by very few if any other people is part of what I love about it. They're challenging but that's the thrill of it.
I'm curious as to why?
