This donation includes the trophy fees for an Alpine Goat for each hunter, a Chamois for each hunter and a Red Stag each up to 400”. Method of take is rifle, bow or muzzleloader. As well as fantastic hunting opportunities, the lucky hunters will also have a Kiwi-style, evening beachside dining experience with a mix of NZ beers and wines, great music, and entertainment, all while dipping your feet into the Pacific ocean as the sun sets. This hunt is available for open dates February-August in 2025 or 2026, and may be upgraded by adding days or other available species at the current price list. Additional hunters and non-hunters are welcome. Transportation during your Stag and Goat hunt is by comfortable modern 4×4 side-by-side vehicle.
