Backcountry New Zealand Red Stag Outfitters

Private Land. One Party. World-Class Trophy Hunting.

Backcountry New Zealand offers uncompromising, private-land trophy hunting in one of the most dramatic landscapes on earth. Family-owned and operated in New Zealand’s Southern Alps, we specialize in elite red stag and alpine game hunts for hunters who value authenticity and ethical pursuit.

We operate on a simple principle: one hunting party at a time. No shared valleys, no rushed stalks, and no compromises. Our entire operation is dedicated solely to your hunt, allowing complete flexibility around weather, animal movement, and individual goals.

Our land is carefully managed for long-term herd health, genetics, and trophy quality, producing red stags that regularly exceed SCI 450. During the roar, hunters experience one of the most primal and unforgettable environments anywhere in the world.
 
Backcountry New Zealand is not volume hunting.
It is hunting done properly—on private land, with total focus, and without compromise.
