i hope this insipes someone to make the trip to NZ. this is a hunt well within the realms of us mere 'non millionaire' mortals. BUT YOU MUST BE FIT! for me this is like hunting mtn goats on the cheap. any foriegner can hunt on public land there for no cost. just be sure to take the time to jump online and apply for your hunting permit, which costs you nothing and you can print it out instantly!
no tags, no ballots, no seasons, no bag limits, self guided. oh yeah, and if you find yourself looking at a red deer or a chamios you can shoot them too. we saw a few chamios while we were there.
your only costs are flights, car hire, food, mountain radio hire (recommended!), motel (maybe a night either side of the time in the bush)
the currency exchange rate would be in your favour too.
think of it as hunting sheep or mtn goats without the cost and drama trying to get a tag for one...if at all.
the only other cost would be chopper hire if you choose to use one. it's very popular for hunters there to fly into a hunting area, get dropped off and picked up a week or so later. we just wanted the extra challenge of packing in.
hunting NZ is an awesome experience, and it affordable!
