Here in New Zealand, like I expect it would be in Australia, hardly anyone has ever even heard of them, except for a couple of real rifle looneys who got US magazines sent over.
Today, I believe the ones that do know them, have become aware of them in the last fifteen years with the preponderance of US-based hunting sites on the net.

Kiwi hunters almost exclusively read their own hunting writers. (Those with an interest in hunting in Africa excepted.)

My father was different. He was born in the US and he initiated me into the cult of JOC at a young age.
