The Importance of Red Stag Hunting in the Clarence Valley

 New Zealand’s non-native Red Stags have a fascinating history that makes it an ideal game animal.

  • Non-Native: Red Stags are not native to New Zealand; they were imported by European settlers in the 19th century for food and sport. Before their introduction to the islands, the only mammal species inhabiting New Zealand were bats and seals. 
  • No Natural Predator: Because Red Stags are not native, they have no natural predators in New Zealand. Issues with their flourishing population have at times caused an imbalance in their habitat. Keeping the population under control is useful in maintaining a natural balance. It also makes trophy hunting a more bountiful experience.  
  • Majestic Beasts: Red Stags are classified as deer, but they look more like American Elk. They are between 175 - 250 cm long and weigh 160 - 240 kg. They have huge, impressive antlers that grow about 2.5cm a day. They grow thick fur and neck manes during autumn to keep them warm through the winter.
