The challenge of luring a mature Elk bull out of the timber during the hunt
makes for a great once in a lifetime experience.
Our country is varied and long shots to test the skill of the dedicated rifleman also
occur regularly.
The policy of not harvesting immature bulls means that each year a large number
of Elk bulls reach their top trophy potential. 6 x 6 bulls are common, but we wish to share with you the challenge of taking
exceptional trophies.
The liberation of North American Elk took place in 1905, a gift to the
New Zealand Government by the American President Theodore Roosevelt.
They were placed in the inhospitable Fiordland National Park,
in the southwestern corner of the South Island.
The Rocky Mountain Elk or Wapiti adapted readily to their new environment
and in the early years grew antlers approaching the best that their North American forebears produced.
Unfortunately, the herd expansion was
halted by the topography and the fast
encroaching Red deer herds.
Because there are so few pure Elk left in
the wilds of Fiordland, the only hunting available is a ‘game estate’ hunt.
Each year we take some
exceptional bulls.
