G'Day NitroX,

There are Hard and not-so Hard areas to hunt these animals in NZ. As long as you can get about OK, go with a guide and get dropped off (by Helicopter), on the tops. Camp there and hunt from there.
Most Kiwi Guides will have easy country set aside for the less agile (was that nicely put?).

Don't expect to shoot record book animals but you may very well do this. I don't know if you are a trophy hunter or a hunter but if you are the later, you can't help but enjoy yourself. Well, apart from screaming lungs and legs!!!!!!!!!!! So work on your fitness as much as possible. A mate once put it this way- "Its the only place I've hunted, where you work up a sweat walking down hill!"
You can Never be fit enough to hunt alpine species in NZ and I assume elsewhere!

Catching a Hughes 500 to the top and back, is nothing to be ashamed of!

In good weather, there is No Better Place To Be!!!
But
In bad weather, it'll kill ya as quick as!!!
