you Aussie bow hunter have some many option when it come to hunting.  you can hunt big game with little limits on when and how you hunt.  here in the US we have all kinds of laws and there all different in different states. I don't even want to tell you the cost.  the mimimun cost of hunting in a different state is a 100 bucks.  you many only be able to kill one deer too.  there are some states where it cost 1500 and you have only five days to hunt.
good luck
I really like hearing for you Aussie bow hunters.

Victoria is your best bet for sambar
Where i live in NSW we have fallow and chital deer , ive seen a few this year going too and from work , the rain we've had has been good as there is plenty of food about
Got a roo with the car the other morning , didnt do the bumper much good!
How come you never have a bow in the car when you need it!

in regards to the money to pay in the US when going hunting that is a fair bit but, i know this is a bow forum and there are no lisencing measures for a bow but i can't remember how long it takes to get a shooting lisence in AUS but it's a while and in NSW it's between 4 and 10 weeks,

this is a Bow hunting form but most bow hunter do hunt with a gun.   I'm not an expert on the laws in AU but i know that it is very hard to get a gun into AU. 
Good luck

Getting a firearms license in NSW can take up to 10 weeks.The same can be said about cooling off period for buying firearms.In all the different states and territories of australia the rules are different.So much for the uniform gun laws john howard wanted after he stole our legally owned and bought firearms in the 2 buy backs.

Sambar is the common name for several large dark brown and maned Asian deer, particularly for the Indian species , which attains a height of 102 to 160 cm (40 to 63 in) at the shoulder and may weigh as much as 546 kg (1200 pounds), though more typically 162-260 kg (357-574 pounds). The coat is dark brown with chestnut marks on the rump and underparts. The large, rugged antlers are typically rusine, the brow tines being simple and the beams forked at the tip. In some specimens the antlers exceed 101 cm (40 in).
