1 Strategic CHASA Plan Strategic Plan 2020

2 Foreword As Chairman Conservation Hunting Alliance Australia (CHASA) I am pleased to represent hunters hunting in Australia. Our State is a significant beneficiary modern hunting we must communicate this better. This Strategic Plan was created by member organisations in CHASA provides CHASA with a clear direction that will enable it to advocate for hunters play a leadership role to ensure that field hunting conservation remain synergistic sustainable in Australia. CHASA has achieved many milestones in a short period a Strategic Plan will ensure that hunters continue to adapt to ensure that hunting endures. The 5 strategies in this Plan are a guide for all hunting organisations. Each strategy is an important pillar in our future. 1. Building a sustainable CHASA 2. Building conservation partnerships 3. Fostering hunter education 4. Promoting wild food is healthy 5. Promoting modern hunting. Wild food hunting is a big part my life. I was always interested in catching cooking my food. As a young boy I spent many summers catching yabbies on a piece meat tied to a string, using mum s pea strainer as dab net. Our neighbourhood boys ( my sister) were always watching for first flows through irrigation channels in spring that signalled start yabby season. We rode our first pushbikes for miles outback behind Renmark aerodrome setting rabbit traps learning how to skin gut rabbits which mum loved to cook. My first fishing trips with dad on Murray River led to many memorable days catching cooking callop. And when I turned 18 I remember my first duck hunt with a mate whom I still hunt with today, I remember very first grey teal I ever bagged ( swam to retrieve). Mum was an expert at cooking wild duck too, having grown up on Hindmarsh Isl being pricient with a little 410 snake gun. My love hunting fishing led to furr study in environmental science a career in natural resource management. Today I am fortunate to have met many like-minded people who love outdoors love ir hunting cooking traditions that extend for generations. Through ir experiences I have learned many lessons about nature seasons natural cycles life. However, it is not until threats to our way life arise that importance an alliance like CHASA is realised. The bonds between self, friends, family, community, seasons nature must be protected will be strengned by this Plan. Yours in hunting conservation. TONY SHARLEY Dip. App.Sc., B.

3 Introduction CHASA was formed in 1994 was incorporated in CHASA is an alliance following hunting organisations: Australian Field Game Association; Australian Deer Association Australia; Hellenic Shooting Sports Association Australia; Trophy Bowhunters Club Australia; Sporting Shooters Association Australia Conservation & Wildlife Management (SA) Inc.

CHASA works in partnership with its members, Government or organisations to ensure that needs hunters hunting can achieve environmental, social, cultural economic benefits for all Australians. In 5 years since CHASA was incorporated it has built positive relationships with State politicians Government departments to ensure that hunting hunters are well understood represented in decision making processes that affect future hunting. CHASA has supported training initiatives helped to refine training materials used to instruct intending hunters promote modern hunting. CHASA has also taken lead in countering false negative claims about hunting by animal rights activists through reference to review relevant scientific publications conducted under Australian conditions. The 5th Wine Wild Food Dinner at National Wine Centre in 2014 was a celebration 5 years since CHASA was incorporated. The dinner is a symbol that modern hunting has a place in modern society, where hunters enjoy benefits modern hunting with wider community by sharing wild harvested food. Many environments from which wild food is sourced have in fact benefitted from conservation work undertaken by hunters. The CHASA Strategic Plan is seen by all members as an opportunity to build on achievements modern hunters hunting over past 30 years, one which was formation CHASA. STRATEGIC PLAN

4 Hunting Modern Hunting Modern hunters today have adapted to much tighter restrictions on firearms licensing hunting permit requirements (many which were hunter initiated) which have resulted in a more skilled responsible hunting community compared with that 30 years ago.

Modern hunting is practised in many countries including USA, United Kingdom, Europe closer to home in New Zeal all states Australia. In Australia, modern hunting environmental knowledge gained has become an important contributor to: CHASA will continue to promote benefits hunting using statement wild food is healthy which encapsulates benefits modern hunting: edible wild food is a sign that environment is healthy; source wild food is trusted; wild food garing follows nature s cycles; understing natures cycles keeps people connected with nature; connection to nature creates carers for nature; carers for nature enjoy healthy lifestyles with time spent outdoors, modern hunting supports community wellbeing. restoration wildlife habitats; conservation threatened species; research to improve wildlife management; management feral animals exotic plants; improvements in farm productivity; economic benefits for regional economies; nurturing our physical mental wellbeing, maintaining strong social bonds between friends families. 4 APRIL 2015

Since n, duck hunters have worked with Government Departments private lowners to conserve wetl areas in Australia exceeding 2,000 times area Adelaide Oval. In Victoria total expenditure for hunting game animals was estimated to be $282 million per annum. When pest hunting by game licence holders is included estimate is $417 million per annum, providing an indication value hunting to rural communities in Australia. Since 1911 re had been only 20 published articles discussing Stubble Quail in Australia. In 2011, with help local hunters, Sporting Shooters Association Australia (SSAA) National Quail Research Project commenced to undertake long term field based research to better underst Stubble Quail population dynamics. Knowledge gained is used to ensure hunting seasons are sustainable. The SSAA Conservation Wildlife Management (C&WM) branch was involved in creation success Operation BounceBack program. By undertaking targeted pest control activities in various National Parks Conservation Reserves since 1990s, habitat native species such as Yellow-footed Rock-wallaby have benefited from a reduction in grazing pressure predation. SSAA C&WM work has recently allowed reintroduction Western Quolls in Flinders Ranges SSAA National has donated $60,000 to assist in management reintroduction program. STRATEGIC PLAN

11 Australia was first state in Australia to ban lead shot for duck hunting in Duck hunters played an important role in achieving a ban by conducting research into lead shot availability in wetls that contributed to lead poisoning in ducks. This led to an informed decision to ban lead shot supported by all hunters. Hunters also played an important role in development educational materials to support changeover to non-toxic shot. In 1986 duck hunters initiated development Waterfowl Identification Test as a pre-requisite to obtaining a permit to hunt waterfowl. Duck hunters provide regular training events to ensure duck hunters are pricient at identifying waterfowl. The recently published 2014 DuckWISE DVD was produced by Victorian Game Management Authority with support from game management agencies in Australia, Tasmania New Wales, with input from hunters. The DVD has been distributed to all duck hunters in Australia includes important messages about waterfowl identification, safety effective efficient hunting. Holders a firearms licence in Australia are SA Police checked have undergone compulsory firearms safety courses. There have been no accidental shooting fatalities in Australia in last decade.
