wapiti bull (elk)

Elk are the largest round horned deer in the world and can weigh up to 1000 lbs, and are the biggest of the New Zealand deer species. A Bull Elk antlers will often exceed sixty inches. New Zealand is now regarded as one of the premier hunting destinations in the world to secure a big trophy Elk.

We hunt Elk from late Feb to August. The prime hunting season for an Elk Bull is during their Rut, which begins in March and goes until the end of April. Trophy Elk can exceed SCI 450 inches and you can expect to see a number of trophy elk a day on one of our private hunting areas.
