In recognition of the commitment of our community to compliance, responsibility, and the sustainability of native game bird hunting, the Labor Government has accepted the GMA's recommendation to proceed with an unmodified legislated quail season.

Season details:

Start date: Saturday, April 6 (half an hour before sunrise).

End date: Sunday, June 30 (half an hour after sunset).
Daily bag limit: A maximum of 20 birds per licensed hunter on any day during the open season.

Important notice:

In adherence to the GMA's longstanding recommendations, the use of electronic quail callers is strictly prohibited throughout the season.

The government’s decision underscores the positive impact of our collective efforts in promoting sustainable hunting practices and our significant role in conservation; we encourage all members to continue exemplifying the highest standards of ethical hunting.

Stay prepared, and we look forward to a successful and responsible 2024 game bird hunting season!
