The idea of forming this hunting club came from a group of hunters that banded together to organise a protest after the corrupt Barry O'Farrell Government shut down the state forests to hunting in early 2013 that had been safely running from 2003. This came from a Facebook group called the Australian Conservation Hunters that was started up shortly after the forests were shut to hunting by Mick Zorocic quickly joined by David Baker, Stephen Hayes, Rodoljub Vukobratovic and many others. Between David, Mick and the core group we set about to organise the protest visiting clubs and groups and although we face resistance from our favourite political party and the large clubs like the SSAA we decided to go ahead. it was after the protest that our group decided to form our own club as we were disappointed in the lack of response from the SSAA.
The protest was held August 13 2013 and from that moment on we put in the effort to get our own Genuine reason club together. All up it took about a year to get the club in place first through Fair trading. Then to be recognised by a peak body organisation, in this case the Game Management Council of NSW, the same organisation that worked with the then Shooters and Fishers Party to get hunters access to the state forests for public land hunting by helping plan and write the Game and Feral Animal Control Act 2002 and lobbing politicians. Once we were sponsored by a peak body we approached the Firearms registry and the Game Management Council for recognition to be a genuine reason hunting club and authorised hunting organisation.
