YOUR HUNT, TAILOR MADE

hunt wild new zealand red stags in peak rut.

At Roaring Forties Outfitting, we specialize in authentic New Zealand hunting adventures designed with venturesome hunters in mind. Our free-range wild red stag hunts take place on privately managed land, offering a true challenge in natural terrain. The prime time for stag hunting is during the rut - known locally as “the roar” - which runs from late March through mid - April. This is when stags are most vocal and active, providing an unforgettable experience for hunters seeking both excitement and hard - earned free range trophies.

Tahr and CHAMOIS.
NEW ZEALAND’S ALPINE DOUBLE.

We also offer free-range hunts for Himalayan bull tahr and chamois on both public and private land, set against the dramatic backdrop of New Zealands Southern Alps. The chamois rut peaks in May, offering incredible alpine stalking opportunities, while the tahr rut runs from May through July - the ideal window for accessing mature bulls in their thick winter coats.
