Where I went the owner was selling Wapiti (Elk) hunts in a fenced area of 3,500 acres. It contained a lot of bush and prices were the same as a Plains Game hunt in Africa. He wasn't letting any clients in there this year as a drought had reduced the trophy potential. Demand is fairly constant though. Mainly from USA clients. It is cheaper to come to NZ for five days and chase them inside 3,500 acres of bush than pay for a guided Elk hunt in the USA.
He bred them for meat and the better genetics went into the 3,500 acres. Like the neighbour of 500Nitro's mate, hunts were limited to less than 6 per year.
