New Zealand Red Stag
Introduced in the 1850s, red stag have flourished in New Zealand and are now one of the most sought-after trophies in the world. Their size, antler mass, and the adrenaline-fueled “roar” make them a hunter’s dream.
We have multiple Free-Range and Estate Hunting Blocks in the Wanaka region, as well as a large Free Range Block near Roxburgh (approximately a 3 hour drive away)

Tahr Hunts
Native to the Himalayas, these sure-footed mountain goats thrive in our Southern Alps. Tahr hunts are as much about the rugged adventure as they are the trophy itself—pure alpine hunting.
Our Tahr can be hunted from our Wanaka Base or as part of an Expedition hunt where we stay in a Wilderness Camp.

Chamois Hunts (Expedition)
Fast, alert, and elusive, chamois are a true test of a hunter’s patience and marksmanship. They’re the only introduced mountain antelope in the Southern Hemisphere.
Our Chamois Hunts require an Expedition style Wilderness Camp with drop off and pick up by helicopter. Chamois Expeditions are also a great opportunity to hunt Tahr.


Other Game & Birds
New Zealand offers a wide range of other exciting game and bird hunting opportunities. From Arapawa rams and feral goats to wild boar and small game, there’s plenty to add to your adventure. For bird hunters, seasonal options include waterfowl and upland game birds, offering a unique challenge in stunning backcountry settings.
