Signs of illegal hunting

General signs of illegal hunting include:

• spent cartridges, signs with bullet holes, dead or injured animals with gunshot or other trauma wounds, arrows left in paddocks, vehicles with their number plates missing or obscured, stray hunting dogs often without a microchip or a collar without an identification tag
• any firearms use on adjoining public land at night — licensed hunting using firearms on public land is only permitted during daylight hours
• use of firearms under spotlights on the property you are hunting on — illegal hunters often use spotlights at night
• the harming of native animals — it is illegal to harm native animals without the correct permits issued by the NSW Government.

Hunting Inspectors may also enter private property in certain circumstances related to hunting offences.
