The Tonimbuk Hall has a longstanding relationship with the ADA, hosting events ranging from dinners and meetings to hound assessments spanning decades.
Being centrally located, it is a great venue that serves the deer hunters of Gippsland well.
This assessment day was once again a productive affair, with shy of 50 hounds being present.
These events serve as an assessment day for those wanting to hunt wild sambar deer with hounds, as an engagement piece for the Game Management Authority with recreational hunters, and an educational opportunity for those wanting to learn more about hunting with hounds and breed standards.
We will hold another official assessment day on Sunday, May 4th, at the Sarsfield Recreation Reserve between 10 AM and 12 noon.
