Gold Medal Red Stag (Cervus Elaphus)

NZTH offers the finest red stag hunts in New Zealand. We have produced several former world records - and there will be more. Over the last few seasons, New Zealand’s largest red stags have been harvested on our property. We look forward to guiding you to an award-winning trophy red stag that will feature in the record books.

SCI gold medal benchmarks will vary from year to year. At the time of writing a gold medal stag starts near SCI 361. A gold medal stag will typically carry more than 20 points and is a very impressive animal.

When a red stag roars it is a guttural, hair-raising, lion-like roar that will be sure to get your heart racing.

To hunt a roaring stag at close quarters is one of the world’s most unforgettable hunting experiences.

The red stag rut runs from mid-March until early May. The red stags can be hunted from February until August.
