Red Stag Hunts

IMG_9944 2new4 2.jpg

Based out of our South Island estate we offer Red Stag Hunts. Our Stags range in size from 320SCI up to 500+SCI.

We run these hunts from March until August each year.

 

The New Zealand Red Stags are world renowned for exceptional hunting as well as antler mass.  Originally introduced in the 1800’s by European settlers the free range traditional royal Red Stag commonly has 12 points. We can offer typical and non-typical Red Stags; no two Stags look the same and hunting them during their roar (Rut) is a experience not to be missed. With the males becoming vocal and challenging one another, this allows us to roar and challenge them, hopefully bringing them to within bow or rifle range.  Their roar season usually starts around mid to late March and runs through to early May.

​

Includes: Red Stag, 4 nights accommodation, breakfast, lunch, dinner, snacks, tea/coffee, transfer from/to agreed airport, guided by PH guide, hunting license for the hunting area, field trophy preparation, unofficial measuring of trophy, trophy photography. Firearm use and ammunition if needed.

Trip 03

We started outfitting out of the beautiful Hawkes bay region before relocating back home to Wanaka in the South Island. We have a huge passion and love for hunting Red Stags. The hunt options we off for Stags has brought a lot of happiness to our clients hunting with us, after they see the quality of game on this estate and the picturesque landscape.

 

Located in Wanaka in South Island just North of Queenstown we have a fantastic Red Stag hunting areas. We have both private free range as well as private estate hunt options, both have some amazing country to hunt in. From New Zealand native bush, to tussock valleys and river flats in-between. During the Red Stag Roar (rut) the estate is full of excitement this occurs usually mid March and runs through to the end of April but the official duration of the Roar varies year to year.

 

You will experience some amazing country from rolling hills, mountains, riverbeds and some challenging true New Zealand native bush. The native bush provides great cover when bow hunting.  

​
