Estates |
Gold Medal Trophy Hunts Fair Chase estate trophy hunts in New Zealand are still the main way our overseas clients harvest gold medal South Pacific species. In particular, red deer stags and trophy wapiti bulls. Our estates are essential, as they offer genetic trophies that free range land could never match. New Zealand produces massive antler racks. |

Quality |
What then makes a quality ‘gold medal' operation? In my opinion, it is membership on all relevant trophy hunting organisations, strong personalities, business longevity, huge parks rather than small pens, high quality guides, trophy genetic stock, a mixture of deer habitat, and above all else, an adherence to the ‘five freedoms’ of wild game management. These freedoms encompass shelter, food, water, habitat, and above all, the freedom to express themselves. |
 |
Amazing |
Best of New Zealand Hunting offers all of these ingredients to their clients. The operation produces record book trophies in several attractive and challenging regions. The quality of the genetic stock is well recognised, and these bloodlines have created particularly heavy red deer trophies. Nothing in the wild matches them. Our Estates are a mixture of steep hills, native grasslands, valleys, forest, and mountain streams. All are ideal deer country. |
 |
Diversity |
The stalks take place on foot. While red and wapiti trophies are released annually, most estate animals are born and raised within the parks. This includes fallow deer, feral goats and pigs, wild rams, chamois , bull tahr,and numerous non- trophy red deer. We also provide quality free range hunts for all species. |

Guide |
Brendon Matthews, an experienced hunter, guide, and businessman, helps with game management within the estates, organises the hunts, and looks after guiding requirements. Best of New Zealand Hunting also offers hunts all around New Zealand, New Caledonia, and Australia. Top of the trophy list is the red stag, or bull tahr, though enclosure wapiti are surpassing many North American animals. |

Top Shelf |
The estates are large, the animals are from the very best genetic stock, the accommodation is as good as your wallet will allow, and helicopters are on call if you want to add free-range tahr to your trophy list. It is recommended that a hunter allow between 3 and 5 days if stalking inside the estate. The daily rate covers guide, transport, food, skinning and accommodation. |

That's Hunting |
While an animal can be guaranteed, there is no guarantee it will be the biggest in the estate. Some trophy animals survive a whole season, and others survive years without even being seen. That’s hunting. Hunting Report article: Greg Morton Contact: fairchase@paradise.net.nz |
