Types of Game Available in New Zealand |
|
The major game animals available for hunting in New Zealand are deer (red stag, fallow, wapiti, sika, white-tail, sambar, and rusa), chamois, himalayan bull tahr, and pig--all introduced by settlers. In fact, New Zealand had no land mammals--except for bats--before European settlers arrived. |
The New Zealand Department of Conservation has a very good website with information on these and other animals.
Most hunting packages will offer the option of complimentary small game (possum, rabbits and hares) hunts as well.
Fly-fishing is also very popular in New Zealand. If you'd like to combine your hunting trip with fly-fishing,
we offer a number of New Zealand fly-fishing packages as options as well.
