High Peak Hunting NZ
Windwhistle, Canterbury
About
Our goal is to be New Zealand's premier estate hunt. Owning and operating New Zealand's largest certified game estate at nearly 5000 acres, High Peak has delivered first-class hunting experiences since 1987. With one of the largest red deer herds of any hunting outfitter in the country, the trophy quality, selection and hunt experience at High Peak is unmatched.
Based from our lodge on the property, hunters have the option of hunting Red Stag, Fallow Buck, Bull Elk, Arapawa Ram, Pacific Goat and Wild Boar on High Peak, while we hunt tahr and chamois on exclusive private land within a day trip from the lodge. All hunting is fair-chase foot hunting. Helicopters are not required.
Non-hunters are well catered for with dedicated non-hunter guides, vehicles and an extensive range of activities to choose from. Non-hunters are also always welcome to join the hunt at any time.
Located one hour from Christchurch Airport, High Peak is easy to get to. We offer you a first-class experience in every respect, backed by a 100% satisfaction guarantee.
