State forests are working forests that must accommodate a range of recreational activities, primary production such as grazing and apiary, and timber harvesting alongside hunting. There are over 2-million hectares of State forest in NSW, with many declared and open to licensed hunting. Public land that is declared for hunting under the Game and Feral Animal Control Act 2002 is then risk assessed and opened to hunters if suitable. Whether you hunt on public or private land, know your biosecurity responsibilities. You must understand and abide by each condition as penalties may apply to breaches. Read the Permission conditions for hunting in NSW State forests online or refer to the NSW Game Hunting Guide. Restricted Game Hunting Licence (R-Licence) holders must abide by conditions when they are granted permission to hunt in a NSW State forest. If you wish to hunt on public land, once you are licensed with some type of restricted hunting licence, you are able to gain permission to hunt by logging in to the online licence holder services portal. If you wish to hunt game birds (non-indigenous or native game birds) on private land, you must hold a hunting licence (either General or Restricted), unless you are exempt, and permission from the landowner or manager. If you wish to hunt rabbits, foxes, pigs, goats, deer, hares, feral cats or wild dogs (not dingo) on private land, you must have permission from the landowner or manager to do so. In NSW, you can hunt on private or public land, provided you hold an appropriate licence where applicable and only if you have permission to hunt issued by the landholder or manager.
