Bowhunters helping each other find places to hunt.
Drawn Bush is a crew of WA bowhunters sharing what we know about finding private land access, approaching landowners the right way, and keeping that access open for everyone.
Ferals are tearing up properties across the southwest.
Pigs rooting up paddocks. Foxes taking lambs. Rabbits everywhere. Landowners are dealing with it, but most of them don’t have the time or the gear to stay on top of it. That’s where we come in.

How this started
In mid-2025, a small crew of us spent about four months reaching out to landowners across the southwest — cold-calling, messaging through community groups, driving out to meet them face to face. We secured access to multiple properties for bowhunting pest control: pigs, deer, foxes, rabbits. Built a waitlist of keen hunters. Earned genuine trust from both sides.
The business side got shelved — running it properly meant one person being the bottleneck for every landowner call, every booking, every vet. And the legal grey areas around monetising hunting access in WA made it more hassle than it was worth for the size of the market.
But the knowledge doesn’t expire. What we learned about finding properties, making first contact, running the phone call, and keeping access long-term — all of that still works. So now we’re just giving it away.

Everything a WA bowhunter needs to start finding their own land access.

The full playbook — where to look, how to make first contact, running the phone call, what to do on the property, and how to keep access long-term. Everything we learned from doing it ourselves.

Occasional group calls where we yarn about outreach, share what’s working, help each other with property questions — whatever comes up. Casual, no agenda, just hunters helping hunters.
Stay in the loop
It’s already working.
Properties with pigs, deer, rabbits and foxes — all within a few hours of Perth. Landowners who are keen for the help and happy for us to camp. Hunters who are doing it the right way and building trust that opens doors for everyone.
This isn’t theory. It’s a playbook built from actually picking up the phone, driving out to properties, and earning people’s trust.
“You set the rules. We make sure they’re followed.”
That’s what we tell every landowner, and we mean it. No drop-ins. No randoms. No blokes showing up at the gate unannounced. Strict vetting. Clear rules. If someone stuffs up, they’re out.
This whole thing only works because the people involved give a shit about doing it right. We’re not just trying to get access — we’re trying to make sure access stays open for every bowhunter in WA.
