HUNTING IN SOUTHERN NEW ZEALAND
Valleys. Flats. High Country.
Southern New Zealand is hunting country like no other. From hidden river valleys to open high-country ridges and expansive flats, the terrain is vast, rugged, and wild.
Here you can find red deer, wapiti, fallow deer, tahr, and chamois — from young bulls to mature stags that test your skill and patience. Every hunt is different: stalking through thick bush, glassing ridges from afar, or packing into alpine country with a rifle ready.
This is real backcountry hunting, guided by locals who know the land and its animals inside out. Big country, big game, and a hunting experience you won’t forget.

PRIVATE LAND HUNT
Red Deer & Wild Pigs on Exclusive Country
Step into the backcountry of Southern New Zealand like a true hunter. Out of Te Anau, you’ll gain exclusive access to private land, untouched valleys, high-country ridges, and wide-open flats. This is premium hunting territory for red deer and wild pigs, with big game ranging from young bulls to mature stags that test your skill, patience, and technique.
This isn’t roadside hunting. It’s remote country, fully guided, and designed for small crews of 1–4 hunters. You’ll move through pristine terrain, glassing ridges, stalking through bush, and tracking game along river flats. Every hunt is built around your pace, your crew, and the full backcountry experience.
Stay in a private cabin with mountain views, enjoy hearty meals, and relax after long days in the field. Everything is taken care of — meals, transport to drop-off points, local knowledge, and guidance. And with no animal fees, you can focus entirely on the hunt.
Whether it’s a high-country red stag, a wild pig in the bush, or chasing trophies across open valleys, every moment is authentic, challenging, and memorable.

Step into the mountains and experience the ultimate high-country hunt.
