You can choose from a variety of species, including red stag, fallow buck, tahr, chamois, and sika. With spot and stalk hunting techniques, you will get the chance to test your skills and immerse yourself in the stunning New Zealand wilderness.
During the rut season, which starts in mid-March and extends into April, spot and stalk hunting for trophy red stags is especially good. The stags range from 280-360 SCI or 270-350 Douglas score, offering a thrilling challenge for hunters.

Additionally, Inland Hunters offers management/cull hunts for red deer. This is an excellent option for small groups and individuals who want an exciting hunt and quality meat. The success rate is high, and you can expect to encounter plenty of animals during these hunts.
Inland Hunters works closely with a small network of trusted and experienced outfitters to offer additional species hunts. This includes fallow buck throughout New Zealand and Sika hunts in the North Island.
