If you have been considering New Zealand but have not yet pulled the trigger, this may be the trip for you. We are living up to our name on this one as it will truly be a “Hosted Hunt”. We will have two members of our team in camp with you on this hunt along with their spouses. We are looking for up to three more couples to join us on this remarkable adventure. New Zealand is perfectly suited for non-hunting spouses and couples are encouraged. Most folks extend their trip beyond the hunting into a true adventure vacation. We can help you with planning, booking flights, visa requirements, sightseeing packages, tour extensions, assistance with getting trophies back home, and more. You will have our team members right there to help you through the entire process. As hosts, our goal is to make every aspect of the trip as easy as possible so you can relax and focus on making memories. All you need to do to make this dream a reality is give us a call and say book it!
Year in and year out, our exceptional outfitter in New Zealand delivers at the highest level. In a country with no natural predators, the Red Stag thrives. 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 well-appointed lodge in a large forested landscape encompassing nearly 10,000 acres surrounded by 200,000 acres of lush wilderness. Hunting is spot and stalk, travel by ATV, and walk as much or as little as you like. For over 35 years now, he has been a market leader in exceptional New Zealand Red Stag hunting, in a true fair chase environment.
You will enjoy a beautiful lodge setting with 360-degree views of the vast territory. While not necessary, the lodge is being upgraded as you read this. Meals are prepared by the executive lodge chef, including mouth-watering seafood and local favorites and are always 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 also a very doable archery hunt. High-quality rifles with suppressors and premium optics are available in camp to make travel a cinch. When not hunting you can enjoy a plethora of activities. Shoot skeet right from the deck, practice at long range, star gaze through a Celestron telescope, there is even a golf range and chipping green on site. They are constantly trying to add to the experience. Last but certainly not least, the entire staff are genuinely interested in making this the best experience it can be.
2024 was another incredible season and we saw record-breaking animals with regularity. This hosted hunt represents the only dates left in 2025 and the few remaining dates in 2026 will most certainly sell out at the SCI convention next month, if not sooner.
