Why should I hunt Chamois with you? We have exclusive hunting rights on several large sections of private land containing prime Alpine Chamois habitat in the South Canterbury region of New Zealand’s South Island. Not surprisingly, this land has some of the best Chamois Hunting in New Zealand.
Since we have exclusive access to such a large amount of outstanding Chamois habitat on private land, we are able to keep the hunting pressure on the Chamois very low. Our alpine hunting areas also have very good road access, which allows us to cater to hunters with a wide range of abilities. As a result, we have very high success rates on free range Chamois hunts on foot without the use of a helicopter.
Not only do we have high success rates on our Chamois hunts, but due to the high Chamois populations, and the fact that we keep the hunting pressure very low, our hunters are able to be very selective and only harvest mature buck Chamois.
Over the past three years, we have a 100% success rate on our Chamois hunts.
Due to all of these factors, we offer an outstanding Chamois hunting experience that few other New Zealand outfitters can match. Have you always dreamed of hunting in the magnificent Southern Alps of New Zealand? Are you looking looking for a great chance at taking a monster Chamois without having to use a helicopter? Then book one of our awesome Chamois hunting packages.
All of these packages may be upgraded with additional hunting days and/or game animals at our normal daily rates and trophy fees.
You’ll be at a premier hunting destination in the South Pacific with lots of opportunity to hunt other world class trophy animals. You’re also welcome to hunt Arapawa Ram, Elk (Wapiti), Merriam’s Turkey, Feral Goats, and Wild Boar on a trophy fee basis.
We guarantee a reasonable shot on our Chamois hunts and our lifetime success rate on our Chamois hunting packages is over 95%. if you do not a species listed in a package on your hunt, you will receive a $3,000 refund per species not taken. Though every effort will be made to follow up and recover wounded animals, all animals wounded and not recovered will be charged full price.
We have scoped and suppressed rifles available for hunters who do not wish to bring their own rifles. For $150, we provide use of the rifle and appropriate ammunition for hunting Chamois.
