Bull Tahr

New Zealand Big Game Species


Introduced to New Zealand in 1904, bull tahr are this country's premier alpine trophy. Found only in the South Island bull tahr provide the ultimate challenge to the free range hunter.  See Tahr Hunting for hunting details. This bull had 13 inch horns.

Fallow Buck

Introduced to New Zealand in 1864 the fallow deer is another great deer introduction. It is found in both islands and provides excellent trophies. New Zealand has several colour phases with the most sought after being the "New Zealand black". This might have something to do with it being the dominant colour amongst the long established wild herds. All of our guides can provide quality fallow buck hunts, and clients frequently take bucks in excess of 200 Douglas score.

Red Stag

Introduced to New Zealand in 1854 the red deer quickly established itself as the country's most successful introduction ever. The quality genetics and predator free   environment have consistently produced massive trophy heads.  New Zealand has arguably the largest in the world. Our company offers both fair chase, and free range stag hunts, North Island or South Island, or stags from both islands if the mood suits. Super gold stags like this example are available on our Estate properties.

Buck Chamois

Introduced to New Zealand in 1907 the Chamois is a true mountain antelope. The buck is called the pretty boy of the alps, because of his striking winter pelage, and boisterous manner. Chamois live in steep and challenging terrain. He is only found in the South Island. James Gray has access to one of the best chamois hunting blocks in New Zealand. details of this area may be found at this link. See Chamois Hunts. This buck is in its winter coat. The summer coat is a rich tan.
