Exercising and working out before the hunt certainly pays off, especially when taking on our mountain animals. Because of our well-tracked properties we are able to drive around most places from the valley floors which allows all ages and abilities of hunters the opportunity to harvest their magnificent trophies. Different properties will provide hunters with different levels of hunting to suit their physical requirements.

For most of our hunting in the South Island the terrain is from rolling hills and valleys for the deer species, to rolling hills/montains for Tahr and Chamois. The hunting is very much like Wyoming or Colorado except there are very few trees on the East Coast so very open country where we can glass for a long way, lower valleys filled with shorter native vgitation 3-6 ft tall which all the animal know well how to use especially in the heat. Most clients are able to hunt all the deer species as this is private ranch type land we have very good roads on them, the most important thing is being confident at prone shots if there are at longer distances but your guide will set you up for this to help get you on target. Putting a couple of rounds through the rifle at the start of the hunt helps also. With tahr and chamois we have had clients of all ages and abilities, althrough we don't usethe wor guarantee we are very confident of showing you trophy animals, its making the clim to them. Often it takes 1-2 hours taking your time up a hill or sidling, if we can drive onth this can really makes a huge difference. If clients prefer we can also call in a helicopter for tahr/chamois which takes the climb out and gets a lot more action in within a short amount of time. Flying is based off weather forcast and we reccommend to allow 1-2 hours flying time per animal.
