How It Works
From first enquiry to final GPS report — a controlled, documented process
Feral animal control involving firearms on private land requires careful planning, clear communication and proper documentation. PRS follows a structured seven-step process for every job — from the moment you submit an enquiry through to your written GPS report.
This page explains exactly what happens at each stage, what we need from you, and what you receive at the end. Understanding the process helps landholders, councils, utilities and insurers know exactly what to expect.
Enquiry
Submit the online enquiry form or call 0494 764 788. Tell us about your property, the target species you are dealing with, and your preferred dates. If you are unsure which service you need, select “Other / Not Sure” and describe the situation in the notes field. We review every enquiry and respond within one business day to confirm whether we can service the job.
Submit EnquiryProperty Intake
Once we confirm we can service your job, we send you a short intake survey. This covers property access details (gate codes, road conditions, grid references), livestock locations to avoid, known hazards, and your written landholder authority. Written authority from the landholder is a legal requirement under the Queensland Weapons Act before any shooting operations can commence on a property.
Risk and Access Review
We review your intake survey and assess whether the operation is safe and practical. We will flag any concerns about terrain, access, livestock proximity, boundary clarity or other risk factors. If we cannot safely conduct the operation as requested, we will explain why and discuss what would need to change before we can proceed. This step protects both the landholder and the operator.
Quote
We provide a firm written quote based on your zone, property size, target species, number of nights required, terrain and access conditions, and any documentation or reporting requirements. The quote covers all inclusions and any expected additional charges for travel, accommodation or council reporting. No surprises after the fact.
Night Operation
We arrive on site at the agreed time, typically before dusk. After a property walkthrough and safety briefing, we deploy thermal imaging equipment and commence operations after dark. We operate until the agreed finishing time or until conditions require us to stop. Landholders who wish to accompany the operation are welcome to do so — all persons on site must complete a safety briefing before we move out. Carcass management is handled as agreed during the intake process.
GPS Report
Within a few business days of the operation, we deliver a written GPS-documented report. This includes: total cull by species, georeferenced activity locations, population density estimate before and after the operation, property condition notes, carcass management record, and follow-up recommendations. The report is formatted for use in biosecurity compliance records, council grant applications, landholder files, and insurance requirements.
Follow-up Recommendation
Based on pre- and post-operation population estimates, we advise whether a follow-up visit is warranted, how soon, and what to monitor in the interim. Feral animal populations — particularly pigs — can recover quickly after a single operation, and a coordinated multi-visit approach is often significantly more effective than a one-off cull. We give you an honest assessment based on what we observed on the night.
What We Won’t Do
We are licensed, insured and operating under the Queensland Weapons Act. That means we hold ourselves to a clear standard. There are situations where we will decline a job or halt an operation already underway.
Every shot must be safe, legal and certain. We will not rush, and we will not take risks with firearm safety for any reason.
This is a legal requirement and non-negotiable. No signed authority from the landholder, no operation.
If a property boundary is uncertain or in dispute, we will not proceed until it is resolved. Any activity near a neighbouring boundary requires neighbour awareness.
Electrical storms, extreme wind or very heavy rain will ground us. We communicate early if conditions are deteriorating and reschedule promptly.
We will not operate in areas where livestock proximity creates an unacceptable risk of misidentification or collateral harm, regardless of how the operation is planned.
Every job goes through the same intake and review process. We do not short-circuit this, even for repeat clients or familiar properties.
