Hunt Red Stag in New Zealand with Fraser Safaris NZ

We offer hunts from management quality through to Stags scoring 700 SCI plus.  Stags are unlike Elk as they are all different - some are more typical, others have drops, multiple points off a point etc.  We take alot of time scouting and evaluating our trophy Stags.

New Zealand is the "go to" country for the Red Stag biggest trophies. 

Fraser Safaris NZ is your ideal guide for stalking a Stag of your dreams!

Red Stag "roar" (rut) from mid March to the end of April each season.  Our Stags have massive heavy beams, exceptional length of tines and some have drops and other non-typical features.  We grade our Stag hunts according to SCI score (not medal quality).  Within each grade you have the opportunity to hunt for what to your eye is the best Stag you can find.

Each day it is not uncommon to see and study many trophy class Stags.  You can choose to upgrade your Stag hunt at any time during your hunt.
