Riverview Lodge is one of the very few outfitters in New Zealand who specialise in true 'fair chase' hunting. There are no 6 foot fences in our hunting areas and we don't operate in safari parks. We operate hunts for Red Stag, Chamois and Bull Thar from April to August.
The most productive time to hunt the Red Stag is in late March and April. This is the time that stags are roaring during the rut and are easier to hunt. |
| The Bull Thar is one of the most sure footed animals on the planet and is really at home in quite rugged country. Depending on the physical conditions of hunters we sometimes get dropped off up in the mountains by helicopter to save excessive climbing. | |
The most agile animal in our Southern Alps is, without a doubt the Chamois. They do not in habit terrain as rough as the Thar. Our area has some excellent heads. Riverview Lodge is the ideal location for the non hunting companion. Activities include spa, massages, shopping, whale watching to name a few. The Lodge staff will cater to his or her needs while the hunter is away in the field. |
