So i was looking at websites today about hunting in NZ and see that almost all of the outfitters i have found only guide estate or fenced hunts... which is fine but thats not what i want to do. I would consider doing a private land free range unguided or possibly a public land semi guided just because its so different from what i know but i really cant find much information.
I know some of you on here have lots of NZ experience and some of you are residents so i thought i would ask... is there a way to hunt NZ with a outfitter who would do an unguided or semi guided free range hunt? Just so I would have a little help as far as where and how? I would even be open to private lands ( I guess ) as long as it is free range but am not sure if this is much of a thing in NZ.
It seems that all outfitters i have found seem to be focused on penned hunts for giant famed stag that you buy in advance or helicopter hunting for tahr.
I would like to hunt the deer species of NZ someday in the not too distant future and I don't care if I shoot one, or if i were to shoot a tiny one, as long as its not in a pen and I would really like to see something when I go, I want adventure in a new country not a guarantee that i will shoot something.
Any ideas or suggestions for a very unknowledgeable person?
