I just got home from a Sambar hunting educational course.
The course is run in the East Gippsland of Victoria where Sambar populations are high and the instructor has access to private land with great features to maintain the population and provide opportunities for to observe these animals and their habits.
It is around 20 hours in duration split over a half day start followed by a full day then a half day finish to aid travel.
Participants can camp onsite and spend time discussing anything Sambar around the campfire in the evening or compare Binoculars on dusk for evaluation giving hunters to opportunity to compare their own with others and the ones that Errol uses and another brand he retails in the moderate price range.
Errol demonstrates the geographical features and how Sambar use the landscape.
He has spent more than 30 years hunting and studying Sambar. He has researched many references and famous hunters giving credit for the information he has researched and talking of his own experience and observations from experience.
Errol has produced 4 books and 18 issues of his magazine.
He guided clients for a while and later focused on the study and educational activities of his business.
A mate of mine is a keen Deer Hunter with most of the Australian species under his belt. He completed the course some years ago and spoke highly of it.
I have friends that have either completed the training or know Errol.
I really enjoyed the course and the opportunity to learn their habits and life cycle to get a better understanding of how to successfully hunt Sambar or just observe them in the Victorian forests that have the highest concentration in Australia.
 
Ive read the "Secrets" book cover-to-cover, but havent done the course. I used to read his articles in Guns And Game magazine which I used to write for occasionally as well. I would but the "Secrets" magazine when it was in print, but it depended what was in it.
