PRICES & TRIP SCHEDULES

In New Zealand, the red stags roar (rut) begins in our autumn (fall) season, commencing mid March and concluding in late May and tailing of into June. The hunting block is closed to all hunting from January through until the mid-March when trophy hunting and the rut begins, and remains open for the rest of the calendar year. Good trophies are obtainable throughout winter and spring, until September, at which time the red stags shed their antlers. Free-range hunts are most successful during the roar period. Whereas the Estate hunts are successful throughout the hard-antler period from February through to September.
