A roar from the High Country Stags of Rangitata is enough to stir the blood of even the most hardened of hunter! It’s large size and huge antlers give the Red Stag immense presence. There is nothing like stalking stags during the rut or “roar” which takes place in March and April. It is exciting hunting at its best! Red deer are native to Europe and were first introduced to New Zealand in 1851. With no predators and a temperate climate, the conditions allow New Zealand Red Stags to grow large bodies and massive antlers.
Our Red Stag Package Hunt includes one Trophy Red Stag to 380 SCI-Points.
Also included: Luxury lodge accommodation for 4 nights and 1 x 1 professional hunting guide. We always hunt the first afternoon so a 4 night booking will be 3 ½ days hunting.
You have the possibility to upgrade your Red Stag on request.
