Located
in Victoria, Australia, The Gippsland Deer Stalkers Association
Inc was first formed in May 1986.
To open up to the shooting fraternity, an association that would
accommodate the needs and requirements of deer stalkers and their
families alike.
Over the past eleven years the GDSA has developed from a half dozen
hunters meeting in the lounge room of a house, into a thriving self
supporting entity with in excess of 250 members Australia wide.
Our associations ethos is to hunt in "Harmony with Nature". To promote
in our members a healthy respect for the game that they hunt, to
respect and care for the environment and to become actively involved
in all aspects of game management so as to preserve our sport for
future generations.
- To promote the conservation of Game species and preserve the
hunting ethos for future generations;
- To support research into the ecological requirements of Game
species;
- To promote management policies and strategies consistent with
the conservation of Game species and to persuade Governments to
adopt such policies and strategies;
- To defend and extend Rights off access for hunting on public
lands;
- To preserve Good Will and Respect toward access to private lands;
- To educate members in the techniques of hunting and the safe
practice of firearm use;
- To show respect to other recreational users and avoid conflict
of interests.
