RED STAG & FALLOW DEER HUNT

HUNTING SEASONS: As Unlike most countries, New Zealand has no government imposed hunting seasons for Big Game Hunting. Our Big Game Hunting starts in February and finishes in August.

As you're probably aware, New Zealand’s seasons are opposite to those in the Northern Hemisphere. When it's winter there, it's summer here.

TRAVELLING TO NEW ZEALAND: There are daily direct flights that leave Los Angeles for Auckland, which is your point of entry to New Zealand. Auckland is also the port where you will clear customs. From there you will fly to Queenstown. We suggest you arrive 1-2 days prior to your hunt commencing, so you can adjust to our climate and get over any jet lag you may have.

Further detailed information is available here -

ARRIVAL AND DEPARTURE: All hunters fly in and out of Queenstown.

IMPORTATION OF FIREARMS: New Zealand is a "hunter friendly" destination. It is very easy to bring a conventional sporting firearm into the country. Approximately 6 weeks before your safari commences, you will be sent a firearm import permit. On receiving this form, you should fill in the appropriate places and fax it to the Auckland Airport Police. Their fax number is 011-649-256-0486. Your information will then be transferred to their computer and it should take no longer than 5-10 minutes to clear your guns on arriving at Auckland International Airport.

RIFLES AND SHOOTING DISTANCES: Shots will vary from 100-250 yards. Any calibre between the .270 and .300 Win Mag is adequate for New Zealand hunting conditions. We have good reliable firearms available for people who do not wish to bring their own.

RED STAG & FALLOW DEER - The Stag rut or roar begins late March and continues through to early May. During this time, the Stags become very vocal and sometimes aggressive. Our Stag and Fallow deer are hunted on privately owned land. Our total Stag hunting area is 45,000 acres and is a combination of both free range and high fenced. The terrain on these ranches vary from small rolling hill country to near mountainous terrain.
