2025 Public Land Male Deer Ballot

I can’t see my Hunting Group ID – what does that mean?

Unfortunately, your ballot application to hunt adult male deer was unsuccessful.  Should you be interested in hunting antlerless deer across the same Reserves, please monitor this webpage for information in late February 2025.

My Hunting Group was offered a Reserve and hunting period we didn’t ask for?

Some Hunting Groups were allocated Reserves and/or hunting periods not identified as a preference based on the submission received. If this is the case, your Hunting Group was not successful in the draw based on your preferences, and instead your ballot entry was drawn against unallocated hunting periods following the allocation of preferences. 

Can I change group members, the Reserve or period offered to our hunting Group?

Unfortunately, not – the results of the ballot are final.  You can however update personal information including contact details, vehicle information etc. by using the contact details at the bottom of this page.

What happens next?

Hunting Group Leaders will be sent an information package including the Game Authority that confirms your allocated Reserve and hunting period.  This will be sent via the preference selected in your ballot application (email/mail). Please contact us if you don’t receive a Game Authority by 20 February 2025.

My Game Authority is inconsistent with the allocation table, or personal details are incorrect.

Please contact Game Services Tasmania using the contact details at the bottom of the page.
