What is I Am Hunter?
I Am Hunter is all about the hunt.
We want to create a positive voice that advocates for all hunters and all hunting, and equip people with the tools they need to be positive role models for the hunting community.
Let’s forget what divides us as hunters and remember what unites us – our shared love of the outdoors.
United we stand; divided we fall.

Do people really hunt zebra?
There’s no denying zebra are iconic to the African continent. It’s hard to think about Africa without imagining a herd of black and white striped zebra grazing across the open plains.

In this article, we provide some information on the different game species of Australia, as well as where and how they can be hunted.
