OPTION 4 - CASUAL HUNTING

This option is available for the deerstalker who perhaps has only a day or two to spend, but would like to enjoy a genuine outdoor experience, along with opportunities to pick up a deer for the freezer, a goat, or maybe a wild pig. This is not a trophy hunting option, apart from maybe the opportunity to take a trophy goat.

This could be an ideal chance to get away with a group of your mates, or take your family for an overnight trip - where they will have the opportunity to view wildlife in their natural terrain, only minutes from the comfort of our bush lodge. The lodge is also a great place to put your feet up, in front of the open fire, and relax. For the photographer, there will be some great chances for natural wildlife shots.

This hunt can also be based from any of our beach accommation units simply book the bach at the nightly rate for yourself

or with the family bring your own food and bedding  and take the evening hunt option at NZ$150 per hunter only plus

NZ$200 per deer .for the rest of your stag enjoy the beach
