The University of Queensland〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.wsq.org.au/QPAS%202012/Session%205/Baxter,%20Greg.pdf )〕 estimates that Australia has around 300 000 active hunters investing a conservative $556,650,000 annually into the Australian economy. Australia has a population of about twenty-three million,〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.abs.gov.au/ausstats/abs@.nsf/0/1647509ef7e25faaca2568a900154b63?opendocument )〕 of which one million are involved in shooting and firearms. there is around 5.5 million legally owned firearms in Australia ranging from bolt action, pump action, lever action and semi automatic firearms. A survey of Recreational hunters reveals 〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.wsq.org.au/QPAS%202012/Session%205/Baxter,%20Greg.pdf )〕 that the preferred method of hunting as: Rifle 92.3%, Bow 16.4%, Black Powder 3.4%, Shotgun 56.0%, Dogs only 8.6%, Other 3.3% ==Animals== Many species of animals in Australia have been introduced by European settlers since the 18th century.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://library.thinkquest.org/03oct/00128/en/main.htm )〕 Among these are rabbits, hares, cats, foxes, goats, pigs, dogs, deer, donkeys, horses and feral cattle, camels and water buffalo. The most commonly hunted animals by Recreational hunters are rabbits, foxes, pigs, feral cats and feral goats.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.wsq.org.au/QPAS%202012/Session%205/Baxter,%20Greg.pdf )〕 Hunting of Rabbits in Australia is encouraged across all of Australia as they are considered a highly invasive pest. The most common form of hunting is ground shooting. The recreational hunting of foxes is also commonly done by shooting. However, this usually requires other techniques to lure and shoot the animal such as spotlighting or use of the fox whistle which makes a sound like a distressed rabbit.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.feral.org.au/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/FXFS2_Fox_shooting.pdf )〕 The commercial hunting of kangaroos was recorded as 1,560,586 in 2012.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=https://www.environment.gov.au/system/files/pages/d3f58a89-4fdf-43ca-8763-bbfd6048c303/files/kangaroo-statistics.pdf )〕 Six species of deer can be found in Australia.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://adrf.com.au/content/view/35/79/ )〕 *The chital (''Axis axis'') is also known as the Indian spotted deer, they are light to dark brown with permanent white spots which appear as broken lines running along the body. Typically has three tined antlers. *The hog deer (''Axis porcinus'') is a close relative of the chital, they range from a uniform dark brown during winter to a rich reddish-brown in summer at which time light coloured spots along the sides and on either side of the dark dorsal stripe are visible in individuals. Typically has three tined antlers but extra points are not unheard of. *The sambar (''Cervus unicolor'') is the largest deer species to be found in Australia. They are normally brown but individuals of grey to almost black are seen. Typically has three tined antlers but with a wide variety of styles. *The rusa (''Cervus timorensis'') is a close relative of the sambar but smaller in size, they are a uniform grey-brown, variable between individuals and season. Typically has three tined antlers. *The fallow deer (''Dama dama'') is the most common species of deer in the world. In the summer they are light to reddish brown with white spots. In the winter this changes to a greyish brown. *The red deer (''Cervus elaphus'') ranges from a dull brown in winter coat to a rich reddish brown in summer; a permanent straw-coloured rump or caudal patch is retained throughout the year 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Hunting in Australia」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
