This hunt in New Zealand for red stag and other mountain game takes place on a circa 2000 ha hunting district next to your base-camp. This mountainous district is breathtakingly beautiful, which makes this hunt for world class stags and the game into a very exciting adventure.
The accommodation is very exclusive, with food, wine and other drinks of the highest quality.
You will be met in the airport at Christchurch, before being transferred to the hunting camp.
The hunting here starts at the beginning of April, and finishes at the end of August. Jagtperioden starter i begyndelsen af april og er slut sidst i august. This is because many of the animals you can hunt are in rut during this period, and they are also carrying a very fine winter coat.
