Why you need to obtain a WIT certificate
To obtain a permit to participate in South Australia’s duck open hunting season, you must successfully complete a Waterfowl Identification Test. This test is for hunters to demonstrate that they can identify waterbirds and each bird’s conservation status to ensure the right species are targeted.
The test is conducted by the Department for Environment and Water.
Training
CHASA provides comprehensive training in waterfowl identification to enable intending duck hunters to sit their Waterfowl Identification Test with confidence.
Courses are run on a regular basis before and during the hunting season, and are subject to demand.
The course covers tuition and all training literature including printed reference material and videos. Training normally takes place after hours.
To attend CHASA’s waterfowl identification training please complete the application form and return to CHASA by post or email.
Testing
The test is run but the department of environment and water. The test contains a series of 3 second clips of ducks flying and you need to correctly identify them.
Completed tests are sent interstate for assessment, with results usually available within seven days.
