If you want free range in NZ, make sure it is real free range. Most client hunts in NZ are deer farm animals, or deer farmed animals released into somewhat larger paddocks.

Some outfitters will offer true real free range fair chase hunts but you have to ask and make sure they intend to deliver. Much easier to get you to shoot "Sam the Stag" they hand feed every day ...

Just sayin ...

Most Kiwi hunters do it the hard real way. But bringing home a trophy is much much harder and none of these Christmas tree deer farm antlers are in evidence ...

Maybe some of our NE Kiwi members can help you or point you in the right direction?
