Tools of the Trade

To hunt New Zealand big game we suggest that you bring large calibre rifle’s like the 270, 30-06, 300 win mag etc. You will make shots between 100 yards to 350 yards so you will need to set your rifle for that range. We have an excellent rifle range at Stravon so if you don’t get time to range your rifle before you depart you can do it once you arrive.

Bow and Muzzleloader can be used in New Zealand and are most welcome here. In fact it’s encouraged.

Due to the geography and native bush of Stravon, Bowhunters love hunting here.
This is because you can use the valleys and bush as a cover to stalk and silently get on their prize for a shot of a life time.

Unfortunately our laws prohibited the use of handguns so you will not be able to bring them with you.

On booking your hunt with us we will send you a info pack which will include documents that you will need to have ready for when you arrive in New Zealand with your firearms. The cost is $ 25.00 Kiwi dollars per person to get your rifle in and also a visitors firearms license that is valid for a year.
