SOUTH PACIFIC

AUSTRALIA

While offfering a diversity of tropical deer species, Australia is best known for its water buffalo and banteng hunting. All of my buffalo/banteng hunting is free range and I also offer challenging free range sambar stag and hog deer hunts. Most of the other hunting is on very large estates/stations. These hunts can be easily combined with New Caledonia and New Zealand hunts or with vacation excursions. Great fishing is available in many camps. Please contact me for details!

                 

NEW CALEDONIA

Fantastic free range hunting for great Rusa stags .......... contact me for details!

NEW ZEALAND

The place for monster red stag, chamois and tahr. It is also a great vacation/adventure destination. Several other species are readily available, most notably fallow deer, sika deer, boar and feral goats/rams. I offer both free range and estate hunting with the gold stags mostly coming from estates. Tahr and chamois are all free range.

I offer two distinctly different estate hunts ~ one on the North Island and one on the South. Each have fair chase hunting on large estates.

The North Island outfitter has excellent hunting for very resonable prices. His area is hilly with thick vegetation interspersed by clearings. Exceptional red and fallow deer are available as are feral goats/sheep. Excursions can be arranged for sika deer and Miriam's turkey. He can also coordinate trips to the South Island for tahr/chamois, etc.

Accommodation options are a comfortable cabin on site or nice farm stays (similar to our Bed/Breakfast). This outfitter offers a great package for a silver class stag up to 340 SCI.

My South Island outfitter is located near Queenstown which makes for a great vacation hunt. His luxury lodge sits on a 7,000 acre mountainous estate composed of a mix of thick brush and tussock grass. He offers red stag, fallow deer, tahr, chamois, feral goats/sheep, whitetail deer and wapiti (elk).
