One Last Ridge, Huge Public Land Red Stag Hunting NZ

Theres nothing quite like heading into the hills in the middle of winter
Something about the crunch of the snow beneath your feet, the -10 degree nights, and the big stags mobbed up!
Join us as we head deep into the back country in chase of huge red stags

Thanks Tony!

Top effort guys. Always see a few deer there, but not that many!

[@WildNZOutdoors]

Thanks Craig yea I think that year was a bit different as was heavy snow. Concentrating the deer to those areas.
I have been in the same area a few times again and was no where near those numbers :)

[@ciaranroe9800]

Why do you prefer to hunt in Winter? Is it the concentration of deer that time of year? They seem to mob up.

[@WildNZOutdoors]

Last year I seemed to have a lot planned in the winter. But yes I do really enjoy it. Stags mob up, nice cool days, get in before they drop their heads thanks

[@stevegreen5129]

Awesome stag fullas! What area is this? Looking at heading down from the North Island for a trip. Cheers.

[@WildNZOutdoors]

Cheers mate, can't give too much away man, if you want to have a chat just flick me a message. Happy to chat Cheers

[@kaimanawakid]

Nice stags guys and nice looking country. A cull required alright to protect those tussock lands. Surprised it doesn't get a lot of pressure?

[@WildNZOutdoors]

Thanks mate, a cull is definitely required. Biggest issue is in that back country is everyone is after a trophy Stag so the hinds get left. Sort of catch 22. Shoot hinds and scare stags away? Cheers for the comment

[@michaelpeppernz]
