Hunts Available
Trophy Red Stags are our specialty.
Once you arrive at our exclusive property you'll see why. The vast hunting area unfolds as you drive in to our beautiful wilderness and see red deer in their natural habitat.
Our game management plan of the past nine years has resulted in such an abundance of red deer that you will see several trophy stags on any hunting day. Year by year, with the ageing of our herd, more of the higher scoring monsters are developing.
You can go for Gold or a great Silver trophy - the choice is yours.
Bow hunters are welcome.
This will be a red stag hunt you won't forget!
Hunting Season: March through mid-August

From Curt Hann. Slogan Outdoors, MI
I hunted Kanuka Wilderness with Neil. I stayed two weeks, met the locals, saw some of New Zealand, hunted the red stags and other species and scored a magnificent gold medal red stag.
"I was fortunate enough to hunt Kanuka during the rut and got some awesome video.
"I enjoyed my hunt so much that I plan to return annually to hunt at Kanuka." |
