Hunting Grounds 

With a stunning playground of fair chase hunts, trophies range from 300-350 SCI rating. Red Deer and Fallow on offer.  Wildlife is in abundance, with the enchanting terrain providing a hearty experience from novice to expert.
The hunting conditions are varied with large native Podocarp forests, scrub lands and open grass pastures which make for a perfect environment for both deer and hunter.  The sheer isolation brings an added edge to this wilderness escape.
Our base camp has accommodation with full catering options available. You can book in for a single or multi day adventure with the experienced team.
On a clear evening here, the sky is a brilliant array of stars, with calls of New Zealand’s native owls and wildlife providing a soothing night time serenade.  You’d best pack for a while, as you may not want to leave!

 “Sitting on top of a ridge, listening to the birds dawn chorus with a belly full of paua from the night before.  Not a bad way to spend a morning in the office if you can manage it.”
