The South Island of New Zealand hosts a range of wild life, from numerous deer species (red deer, Monarch of the Glen stags, multi-colored Fallow; majestic Wapiti or Elk, and the timid and elusive Whitetail), to alpine Chamois, magnificently maned Tahr, and populations of feral sheep, goats and pigs. Waterfowl can be found in numerous ponds and streams, and small game such as Wallabies, Opossums, Rabbits and Hares also roam freely. The area of South Canterbury offers the ideal environment for hunting enthusiasts, with local guides to point you in the right direction.
