Our story
After receiving numerous bans from social media for selling hunting gear, we set out to find an alternative option.
The few websites we found were expensive and outdated, so we decided to start our own – Oz Fish and Game!
This was just the beginning. Since then, we’ve established a reputable hunting club and initiated the paperwork to start our own pro-hunting environmental charity.
That’s how we approach business. Our focus isn’t set on maximising profits, instead, our is aim to give back to the people who support us. That means providing YOU, with; high quality educational content, insight and access to habitat restoration efforts in your local area, and FREE use of the most advanced sales website in Australia!
What we do
- Provide education and training to the hunting and fishing community.
- Host regular clean up and habitat restoration works on behalf of our upcoming charity – (due late 2022).
- Provide a safe and secure platform to sell firearms and other equipment,
- Allow users to share YouTube video content, with plans for future monetisation of our website.
- Allow clubs, shooting ranges, and event holders to promote themselves for FREE.
- Lobby Members of Parliament to prevent (or overturn) amendments to legislation.
- Run a NSW approved hunting organisation (AHO).
How we do it
- Collaboration with individuals, businesses, and organisations.
- Generate video, audio, and written content to educate our users, Members of Parliament, and the general public.

Common signs that you are dealing with a scammer include:
- a buyer who offers you an amount of money which is above your asking price,
- any request to send money overseas or via Western Union.
- any request for money from an agent acting on a buyer’s behalf,
- any overseas supplier who offers to sell you a firearm or firearm parts,
- a buyer offering to pay for a firearm via PayPal, this request is against PayPal`s policy and is likely a scam.
