Its gunna be hard going anywhere without a quad to access country and the high grass wont help you either. The mangrove edges out at Harrisons at high tide would be good but you wont get there without a quad

There's a hunting reserve just over the blackmore river on the cox peninsular road on the right the track in is boggy for the first 1km best bet if you have a boat this time of year launch at channel island or middle arm and cruise over and find your way on to land thats where the pigs seem to hang more down near the mangrove s there!

G'day Davey, The Blackmore hunting reserve is no more - that land is now Aboriginal land under the Kenbi land claim.

If your caught hunting in there these days expect to be done for trespass. Unfortunate but thats how it is. The only public hunting reserves left are Shoal Bay, Harrisons Dam and Lambells lagoon.

CPM, the APDHA, NT Bowhunters and possibly other hunting organisations have some agreements for their members to access other areas of public land, if I were a shooter i'd be contacting CPM (Conservation Pest Management), signing up and getting involved in some of their hunting opportunities. They can be contacted at: Phone 0427 596 723, Email [email protected]

I read the above and thought WTF. I checked up and they still advertise middle arm hunting permits on dept's website. I checked the kenbi map and the hunting map. The hunting reserve is immediately to the west of the blackmore river. The closest kenbi gets to the hunting reserve is the tips of the 2 peninsula's to the west of the hunting reserve. You can't even see most of the reserve on the kenbi map. So as far as I can see middle arm hunting reserve has not been affected by kenbi.

Those hunting agreements are the go, very forward thinking. There is a writeup on them in the current NTMAG.

Re Middle Arm, I would have thought it is shot out, it was never a great pig spot in my opinion but maybe I looked in the wrong spots.

Noogoo on the other hand, was full of pigs, but then "development" came, and a fence ...
