NEW STATE FOREST OPENED TO HUNTING!

Hunters, Wolgan State Forest in the Sydney Central West region has just been opened for hunting! This forest can take two hunters each day and is located 178km from Sydney. You may hunt using Firearms, Bows or Blackpowder and are likely to find rabbits, foxes, pigs, feral cats and wild dogs in there.

Habitat and terrain are comprised of a sandstone escarpment separating the upper and lower, heavily timbered, areas of the forest, with some open areas in the lower escarpment.

Special conditions apply to Wolgan, including a requirement to carry a GPS in addition to the Written Permission to identify unmarked boundaries. Make sure you read and sign your Written Permission prior to hunting.

Game Manager's tip: David Smith has said that the majority of this forest is not easily accessible and to achieve the best results hunters need to be prepared to hike in over long distances. He recommends a hike in and camp overnight for the best results and to target the areas of forest bordering grazing land.
