Bull Tahr |
Big Game Hunting In New Zealand Introduced to New Zealand in 1904, 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. There is no greater sight than a mature bull, silhouetted on a rocky ridge with mane whipping around in the breeze. Awesome. Recommended outfitters: Brendon Matthews: James Gray. |

| 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. Recommended outfitter: Brendon Matthews. |
