This is a true wilderness backpack hunt with a chance
to enjoy a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to hunt these
animals out of a number of backpack spike camps.
You could get the chance to join a small hunting group
of dedicated New Zealand wapiti hunters. This animal
is unique to New Zealand and is a cross between a
Rocky Mountain elk and a red stag. This is one of the
only places in the world where this type of animal exists
and can be hunted. Fiordland is the most remote part
of New Zealand and offers what master-guide/outfi tter
Phil Wilson with 35 years guiding experience, considers
to be the toughest hunt in the world. At times, this is
a very physically challenging hunt that can seem like
everything is against you, but this is what makes it
unique. Very few, if any, Americans have ever taken a
true, free-range bull out of Fiordland, but the bulls and
stags are there. The success rate is 50%. The elevation
is sea level to 4,000 feet “straight up” with rainfall of
200-400 inches per year, similar to coastal parts of
Alaska. This is the second time this type of hunt has
ever been offered at Elk Camp by this long-time RMEF
exhibitor. “It will be possibly the toughest but most
rewarding hunt you will ever experience.” Phil and his
companies have contributed more than $50,000 to the
RMEF’s Partners in Conservation program.
