Fair-chase hunting through the roar.

The Red Stag hunt is the one most guys picture when they think of New Zealand — and for good reason. Through the roar, stags are calling, moving, and easier to locate but no easier to close on. We hunt them fair-chase across the Canterbury high country, working the terrain and the wind to get you in range.

Red Stag

Season

Runs from mid February to August. Best through the roar, from late March to late April.

Terrain & what to expect

Mixed high country and open tussock, with real elevation change. Whatever your fitness level, the hunt gets built around it — see the FAQ for more on how that works.

What’s included

Inclusions are tailored to each hunt rather than one fixed package — here's what's typically part of it:

  • Guiding led by Tony personally, with trusted help on hand when needed

  • Luxury accommodation and meals at Terrace Downs Resort, Windwhistle

  • All in-country logistics once you land
