^Lot 6 Southern Peak Safari – New Zealand Red Stag 450-480” for 1 Hunter

Hunt to be taken in 2027 for a Red Stag in the 450-480” range 5 days/4 nights for 1 hunter. Dates and details to be arranged with Southern Peak Safari. Red Stags in New Zealand reside predominantly in forests and tussock mountain terrain. They are regarded amongst the best trophy animals in the world by hunters due to their large antler growth. They hold an awe-inspiring presence, with huge antlers and a large body size of approximately 400lbs. All stags are unique, no stag will be the same. The nature of these beasts are flighty however and can become aggressive and dominant during the roar, they are exceptionally good at bounding through native brush and forests without making much sound!
The introduction of big game animals to New?Zealand began in the mid-19th century, when European settlers, seeking to recreate the sporting traditions of their homelands, imported species such as red deer, fallow deer, sika deer, wapiti (elk), Himalayan tahr, chamois, and wild pigs. These animals were released into the wild across both the North and South Islands, where they quickly established self-sustaining populations, particularly thriving in remote alpine and forested regions. With few natural predators and abundant food, their numbers grew rapidly, leading to significant ecological impacts, including damage to native vegetation and threats to native bird habitats.
