Guided Hunting in New Zealand – Red Stag, Tahr, Fallow & More
Welcome to The Hype of The Hunt — your premier destination for red stag hunting in New Zealand. We offer premium guided hunting adventures across New Zealand’s South Island, led by experienced guide Owen Trowbridge. Specialising in red stag New Zealand, Himalayan tahr, fallow deer, chamois, and elk, our hunts take place in some of the most breathtaking alpine and lowland terrain the South Island has to offer.
Our lodge-based hunts are tailored to suit all levels of experience, with a focus on ethical hunting, great hospitality, and once-in-a-lifetime trophies.
Spectacular! Owen made the hunt so enjoyable. We had an excellent adventure with a successful hunt for a Red Stag and Bull Tahr. Owen showed an excitement and was so kind and patient. Bre’s meals were great, and we looked forward to it every day. Hudson was a great bonus. We highly recommend The Hype of the Hunt. Already looking forward to returning.

This was our second hunt with Owen, both times were incredible. The views and animals are always breath taking,
Owen does a fantastic job as an outfitter. He always ensures we take home the best animals New Zealand has to offer. We look forward to future hunts. Thank You!
