5 DAY FULLY GUIDED HELI HUNT FOR SAMBAR DEER
supplied by Alpine Helicopter Charter

Alpine Helicopter Charter is available for Heli-Hunting, Heli-Fishing, Aerial Survey and Scenic Flights all year round.

Chopper pilot David Blunden has lived around Mansfield for over 20 years, hunted Sambar and explored the High Country on foot, horseback, four wheel drive, motorbike and helicopter.

Flying a Robinson R44 helicopter seating 3 passengers (we find 2 hunters and their gear fits best) a short flight has you dropped into some great Sambar country. No parking your car out bush or hiking in with all your gear. Save your time and energy for hunting! We have a variety of hunting spots that are difficult to access by other means, especially during winter. Contact us for an information pack.
