Join Chris McCarthy's Lake Hawea Hunting Safaris for this bucket list hunt. Your group of five hunters and five non hunters will have full exclusivity of Chris McCarthy's newly revamped luxury lodge and his renowned guide team — a true group and combination hunt, which is what Lake Hawea Hunting Safaris does best.
Red stag and fallow are hunted on a managed 3,500-acre private game estate, while tahr and chamois are hunted free-range across an exclusive 75,000-acre lease. Trophy fees are included for three red stags (scoring up to 405 SCI), one fallow, one tahr, and one chamois — best available, to be shared among the group.
Lake Hawea Hunting Safaris has delivered the ultimate New Zealand hunting experience since 1993. Outfitter Chris McCarthy is a fifth-generation Lake Hawea local with over 20 years of outfitting experience and served a full term as President of the New Zealand Professional Hunting Guides Association (NZPHGA), 2024-2026. Managed estates, vast free-range wilderness, and a newly revamped luxury lodge combine here to create a world-class hunting experience in stunning South Island scenery.
AVAILABLE DATES: June / July 2028 or 2029. Contact outfitter to schedule.
