New Zealand Red Stag
April 15-19, 2024
In January we alerted you to two cancellations available for earlier this month. The two lucky hunters who picked up those hunts had an amazing experience. All three pictures above are from that hunt. If you missed out on that opportunity here is your next chance! We were just notified that a hunter had to move his hunt due to medical reasons. These mid-April dates are highly sought after. If you have been wanting to go to New Zealand, this is it. 2025 is already booked full so this is your chance! Read about Jerry’s recent hunt…
I highly recommend Hosted Hunts. First class in response, quality of outfitters, and the assistance and follow-up are top-notch. I could not have been happier from first contact, to helping make a decision, booking the hunt, and the entire process. Jim was clear in his communication, helping me coordinate getting hunting clothes (we were on vacation when a cancellation presented an opportunity). This hunt alone would have been the trip of a lifetime.
Adding it near the end of an already extraordinary trip on the other side of the planet was icing on the cake. In terms of the hunting experience, 5 stars out of 5! Very nice lodge and our room was spacious with access to the brand new deck. The meals were outstanding in terms of variety and quality of food. Craig and the team also accommodated my wife, who has dietary restrictions. She was also thrilled with the quality, preparation, and variety Just Terrific! And the actual hunting- I couldn’t believe how many animals we saw, especially the large bachelor groups of red stag and fallow bucks. Our guide Jesse was not only knowledgeable, but hard-working, determined to find me the kind of trophy that I wanted. He was also fun and informative but got down to business when opportunities presented themselves (or he created them). I couldn’t have been happier with my guide or the experience. These guys are first class and work very hard to help every client get the trophy of their dreams, feed them well, and make sure they have fun and are comfortable doing it. This hunt and experience was everything we could have hoped for, everything that was expressed and then some, for my wife and myself. Her not being a hunter, yet not once opening her book is a testament to the lodge, the staff, and the owners.
Perhaps nowhere else do we have such consistently superlative reviews. This is one of our absolute favorite destinations to send our clients to. The reasons are many, but at the top of the list is that they always come back and thank us for an unforgettable experience. This 5th generation owner runs fair chase Red Stag hunts from a beautiful lodge in a breathtaking landscape encompassing nearly 10,000 private acres. Hunting is spot and stalk, travel by ATV, and walk as much or as little as you like.
The lodge setting offers stunning 360-degree views. Meals are prepared by the lodge chef and paired with fine New Zealand wine. Custom tours on both islands can be added to make this a true hunting vacation. This is a terrific place to bring your spouse. Hunting is action-packed and this is a very doable archery hunt. Our outfitter has rifles available so you can skip the hassle and paperwork.
Additional animals available for harvest include Sika, Rusa, Sambar, Fallow, Arapawa Sheep, South Pacific Goat, and even Merriam’s Turkey and Possum.
