There is an extremely high level of trophy quality throughout Stravon and with our careful management systems we can consistently produce record book Red Stags for our clients.

The ‘Rut’ or more commonly named the ‘Roar’ starts mid March and continues to the end of April, this is the prime period for hunting the Red Stag, as they aggressively issue their challenges to the other stags in the area.

As you stalk a Big Red, you can return their vocal challenges, but be prepared to feel the hair on the back of your neck stand up when he bellows his response, while he is closing the distance on you.

Locating a stag by sound offers the hunter,
whether using a rifle, bow, muzzeloader or camera, a real advantage.

New Zealand’s Red Stag is a ‘must have’ for any hunter coming to these shores as there is
no finer example of these majestic animals anywhere in the world.
