Most recreational hunters daydream occasionally about becoming a professional full-time hunter. Very few ever make that move. Adam Neilson is one who has. He established himself as a professional venison hunter in South East Queensland, trading as Australian
Wild Game Harvesters.
Adam is a qualified butcher and ran his own shop for some years, before moving onto other things. A keen recreational bow and rifle hunter, he saw an opportunity to take advantage of the area’s burgeoning deer population and develop a sustainable resource in what would otherwise be wasted in culling activities.
Coming from a butchering background, Adam had a good starting knowledge of the red tape and rules to be encountered. Nevertheless, it was a slow grind to satisfy the various regulations, objections and more then set up his processing facility.
