OPTION 3 - COMBINED FREE-RANGE & ESTATE HUNT

This option gives you the opportunity to experience the excitement of hunting wild game in their chosen habitat. Hunt from our bush cabin, cooking by open fire. Hear the wild stags roar over the hiss of the Coleman lamp in the evenings. 3 days should give success for an 10 point or better red stag.

Then move down to our luxury apartment, with home cooked meals and wine in New Zealand style by Christine, and enjoy the estate hunt, where 2 days hunting gives you a 100% chance at a large stag with a trophy in the size range of your choice.

Cost of hunt per hunter is US$1,250 - 2 hunters - 1 guide - 5 days all inclusive, plus trophy fees. E.g. 1 free range red stag over 12 points up to as large as can be found= US$2,000, and 1 estate stag guaranteed success, 14 points or greater, up to 312SCI = US$2,000. Total cost therefore US$5,250 all inclusive.(note there is a US$1000 refund if we cant find a 12 point or better stag for the free-range part of the hunt )
