Experience the Roar of a Red Stag up close
A magnificent red stag is New Zealand’s premier big game trophy. Visiting hunters view the securing of ‘a big stag head’ as number one priority when booking a hunt. This country has long been renowned as having some of the heaviest, wide, even and multi-tined sets of antlers in the world. Red stag like to inhabit a diversity of New Zealand landscapes, ranging from valley floor, to scrubland to forest to open tussock tops. At Garrawaye, the hunting terrain is perfectly suited for bow-hunting and rifle, with skilled hunters having the terrain on their side when stalking in close.
Otago, where Doctari Safaris is based is recognised as the homeland of New Zealand’s first released stags and hinds. Some massive wild stags were shot in the early years and today Doctari Safaris replicates those bygone monsters by only stocking their challenging estate with quality, hardy trophy stags. The peak of the rut is early April, and stags are in hard antler from early February to mid August. Rifle or Bow can be used
