FOUR SEASONS SAFARIS: 5-Day New Zealand Hunt for Two Hunters in Pursuit of Red Stag, Goat, Ram and Chamois
Shane Johnston, owner/outfitter of Four Seasons Safaris New Zealand, a long-time HSC Donor and exhibitor, the HSC 2013 Professional Hunter of the Year, a SCI Life member and DSC's 2007 Outfitter of the Year, invites two hunters to experience the breathtaking scenery from the Seward mountains to the Pacific Ocean while hunting Red Stag, South Pacific Arapawa Ram and the Alpine Goat and Chamois on this 5-day/4-night 2x1 hunting adventure on New Zealands South Island.
Hunt includes the trophy fees for a representative Arapawa Ram and an Alpine goat for each hunter, a chamois for each hunter and a $1,000 credit for each hunter to put towards their red stag.
Method of take is rifle, bow or muzzleloader. As well as fantastic hunting opportunities, the lucky hunters will also have a “Kiwi” style, evening beach side dining experience, with a mix of NZ beers and wines, great music and entertainment, while dipping your feet into the Pacific Ocean.
This hunt is available for open dates February-August 2024, 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 per current price list. Transportation during the hunt is by 4x4 side by side vehicle where stag, ram and goat are hunted in the same exclusive location. The Chamois hunting is in the alps where helicopter transport is required as there is no road access, hunters are required to pay the flight time.
Four Seasons owns its very own private hunting area “Backridge Estate" estate where there are tremendous hunting opportunities to be enjoyed, with some of the very best genetics on their trophy animals throughout the South Pacific. You will have the privilege to hunt out of Kaikoura, which sits on the East Coast of the South Island, overlooking the Pacific Ocean where there is great lobster diving and fishing available.
The hunting is spot and stalk, where there are numerous 4x4 tracks for driving and hiking access where hunters will be spoilt on the numbers and quality of animals available to hunt including red stag, elk, fallow, white stag, goat, arapawa ram and boar. Tahr and chamois is also available nearby.
This hunt package includes trophy fees for 2x chamois, 2x rams, 2x goats, a $1000 (per hunter) credit towards 2x red stags, field prep, transportation to shipper, transfers from Christchurch (within 5 days), comfortable ranch style accommodations, home-style country cuisine and refreshments, including NZ beer and wine.
Not included are airfare to/from Christchurch, before/after hunt accommodations, additional species hunted, balance of stag fee (red stag from $6500), resort fees if hunters wish to upgrade ($450 night), helicopter fees ($2500/hr), firearm permit ($25 if bringing your own), dip-pack service and gratuities.
