Hunt NZ643

NEW ZEALAND RED STAG ONLY $3500
This outfitter runs a family operation on 3 different ranches on the South Island of New Zealand.  Success has been 100% for all his customers the past several years and they have taken quite a few stags scoring over 400 SCI.  He offers a 4-day silver medal hunt for stags scoring up to 330 SCI for only $3,500.  Gold medal hunts for stags up to 350 are priced at $5,500.  351 up to 400-inch bulls add $100 per SCI point.  There is also a $250 day rate for hunters and $200 for non-hunters. 

They also offer a combination including a silver medal stag, tahr and chamois 8-day hunt for only $11,900. The same combination including a gold medal stag is $13,900.  

They also offer tahr hunts for $3,800 and chamois is $3,000. Hunters typically do not need a helicopter for tahr hunts, but sometimes it is necessary on chamois hunts.  The helicopter charge would then be $1,000.    

Early April is prime roaring for the stags and he has recently built a cozy wilderness lodge.  Free airport pickup at Queenstown, South Island.
