THE hunter stalks through the bush in full camouflage gear and combat boots, binoculars in hand, tracking that afternoon’s prey. When the deer is in sight, the hunter waits patiently for the perfect moment to strike, aiming a rifle with skill and firing one, clean shot, straight to the heart.
A manicured hand with dark red nails reaches up to adjust the hunter’s hijab, her carefully made-up face relaxes and she whispers an Arabic prayer. Then, Kadeja Assaad sets off to skin and butcher her kill and take it home for her children’s dinner.
This is a regular adventure for the 36-year-old, who is teaching her four children about the life of a “huntress”, as she calls herself. She says local shop owners in her western Sydney suburb have become accustomed to her wandering down the streets in camo gear and headscarf.
.....
Kadeja learnt about hunting from watching her Lebanese-Australian father shooting birds as a child, but only really got into it after helping out with pest control on a trip to his home country eight years ago, shooting rats “as a big as cats” with an air rifle.
She now mostly shoots deer because she loves halal venison, but she’s also hunted goats, foxes, rabbits and wild pigs using two bolt-action rifles: a Tikka T3 Hunter 243 and a Savage 22 Magnum, as well as a handmade Russian Kizlyar knife to butcher the meat.
Kadeja says that for her, hunting is about conservation and eating local meat.

Good for her. If she were living in a real Muzzie country, however, she’d be able to do none of it.
What does she do with the pigs?
She probably sells it. I would assume.
I know a number of women who hunt.
My wife and I bought the home we live in from a family friend who not only hunted but actually caped out hides for museum mount. Her husband, WWII 101st Airborne vet, was a game guide in Alaska. He guided the hunts for a Danish Museum and his wife prepared the hides for mounting.
Have no issue with Muslims hunting, don’t think this is going to be a growth area for them.
There have been quite a few women snipers who had awesome reputations. Most recently in Syria. Amazing stuff.
My first thought too
Good on her. She’s doing a sport that many of us love and teaching it properly to her family.
I understand the headline but the thought of a Muslim woman’s secret about her bush is not something I care to know.
Yes, I like seeing stories about Muslims who are choosing to fit into the culture of the nation they are living in, rather than seeking to change it.
Hunted animals cannot be used as kosher, BTW, because they must be killed according to strict practices of Jewish law. That definitely involves a ritual slitting of the throat with a surgically sharp knife, in one stroke. You can get kosher-slaughtered farm raised deer, but I never had any interest in it, since I don't eat red meat.
If a Muslim hunter says a prayer as they fire, then the meat is halal (assuming it would be anyway). They are required to slaughter the animal according to halal practice if it still alive when they take it, but if it was killed cleanly by the shot it is halal.
Muslim women have no bush.
Is it safe to say she has a husband that provides for the family?? - or is off in Afghanistan or Syria doing what Muslims do best.
So using a gun is wonderful in Australia if you are a Muslim woman? I never read such a glowing account of a hunting trip. And she eats foxes? Once she gets rabies, the story will move to the obituaries.
She eats them when nobody is looking; pork is precious.
Tells the kids its goat...
Why shoot two deer to feed her children, seeing that she hunts every week. It’s a Muslim story, they never add up.
I believe with halal you also must butcher with a neck cut not a gun.
In the comments section of the linked story, someone is complaining that she’s killing animals instead of doing the humane thing and shopping at the supermarket.
Words fail me.
Australia is entirely rabies free - but I doubt she eats the foxes.
And there are hundreds of thousands of active hunters in Australia. There’s a lot of propaganda spread about guns and shooting in Australia and most of it isn’t accurate. We don’t have anywhere near the same level of gun culture as the US, it’s true - but it’s also far from non-existent. And we also have a bunch of stupid laws, but also a lot of people who actually navigate through them to own and use firearms.
