The New Zealand wilderness hunting experience is one of the few to be touched by the modern world. Steeped in history one can grasp how the true hunters of yesteryear plied their trade in such a harsh and at times unforgiving playground. Chris is the master of upholding traditional New Zealand hunting, taking you outside your comfort zone, although always being in total control. Praise to Chris McCarthy a true enigma of wilderness hunting. Tim Hughes, Australia, June 2015.

Fallow deer hunting - best datesFallow deer are best hunted during the rut, March - April, they carry hard antler for a longer period than most deer species, from February until November. During the rut the bucks get very worked up and make that distinct, guttural , croak, croak. Similar to red deer hunting it adds a lot to the hunt if you are able to hunt fallow during the rut and witness bucks challenging each other for does (females). Spring hunting is also a good option for hunting fallow deer. At this time the bucks group together to feed up after the winter. It is not uncommon to see 20 - 40 fallow bucks in one group. |
