Fallow Buck Hunt in New Zealand

Fallow Buck

Originally European, Fallow Deer where introduced into New Zealand from 1864, with 26 different liberations taking place. Despite its small size compared to the other deer species in New Zealand, Fallow Bucks can be very aggressive during the rut, inflicting fatal wounds between each other.

Fallow Bucks come in various colours, the most common, black or chocolate brown, the spotted menil, white and ginger. The Bucks can weigh up to 160 pounds (70kilos) and the antlers are palmated like moose antlers.

During the rut in April, the Bucks become very vocal with a grunt or croak noise when he is challenging all his rivals. We offer both “free range” and “game estate” hunts on large private cattle and sheep properties. Fallow Bucks can be hunted from late February - October.
