Estates |
Estate Trophy Hunts Fair Chase estate trophy hunts in New Zealand are still the main way our overseas clients harvest gold medal South Pacific species. Our estates are essential, as they offer genetic trophies that free range land could never match. We recommend clients use either Brendon Matthews or Glenn Martin and John Ham. Both outfits can provide quality estate hunting. |

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. Our outfitters produce 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. The stalks take place on foot. |
 |
Diversity |
Most estate animals are born and raised within the parks. As well as trophy red stags and elk 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. Our Estates are a mixture of steep hills, native grasslands, valleys, forest, and mountain streams. All are ideal big game country. |

Guide |
Each of our outfitters, organises the game management within the estates, plans the hunts, and looks after guiding requirements. Best of New Zealand Hunting also offers hunts through Glenn Martin to New Caledonia, and Australia. Top of the trophy list in New Zealand are the red stag and bull tahr. 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. |

Top Shelf |
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. 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. Contact: fairchase@paradise.net.nz |
