A roar from the High Country Stags of Rangitata is enough to stir the blood of even the most hardened of hunter! It\u2019s large size and huge antlers give the Red Stag immense presence. There is nothing like stalking stags during the rut or \u201croar\u201d 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.
\nIt is also recognised that the Rangitata has the finest foot hunting for trophy Bull Tahr in the world. All our Tahr hunts are conducted on our own private land which is exclusive for Rangitata High Country Hunters only, this ensures you will have the best alpine hunting experience possible. Our land has very high animal numbers and you will have plenty of time to look over many bulls in order to take the trophy of your choice. While the hunt is quite physical, obtaining a quality Bull Tahr on foot is achievable for most people. We have successfully guided clients of all ages and abilities to the trophy of a lifetime.
\nThe graceful Chamois is one of the most difficult trophies to obtain which will be completed your Rangitata hunting package . A very agile member of the antelope family, the Chamois is superbly adapted to living in the steep, rugged environment of the Southern Alps of New Zealand. Chamois can be hunted all year round, though like Tahr they are at their best from April to August during the rut. At this time they have a magnificent coat that is long and black with a silver strip along the spine.
\nFor Chamois hunt a helicopter is required.
\nOur package hunt includes one Trophy Red Stag to 380 SCI-Points, one Trophy Tahr Bull of 12″ and 1 Trophy Chamois.
\nAlso included: Luxury lodge accommodation for 5 nights and 1 x 1 professional hunting guide. We always hunt the first afternoon so a 5 night booking will be 4 \u00bd days hunting.
\nYou have the possibility to upgrade your Stag, Tahr on request.
