Hunting world-class Red Stags as summer gives way to autumn—long daylight hours, warm days, crisp mornings, and the anticipation of the legendary Red Stag Roar building with every passing week. February and March offer some of the finest conditions of the season, making them the perfect time to experience everything New Zealand has to offer.

More than just a hunting trip, this is a true New Zealand holiday. Based in the stunning Wanaka and Queenstown region, there are almost endless activities for families and non-hunters to enjoy beyond the hunt—from world-class wineries, hiking, golf, jet boating and scenic flights, luxury lodges, shopping, incredible restaurants, and unforgettable sightseeing. It’s the ideal destination to create memories both in and out of the mountains.

Whether you’re after a fully guided free-range hunt, a premium estate experience, or the freedom of one of our self-guided drop camps, Metanoia Ventures offers an authentic hunting adventure tailored to your requests.

Limited dates. Private access. Free-range adventure.

Walking ridgelines in search of Himalayan Tahr is hard to beat. Crisp winter air, endless country, and conditions that remind you why these mountains are so special.

We’re making the most of the settled weather while it lasts, covering ground and enjoying days in the high country. Winter is only just getting started, and while we’ve been fortunate so far, there’s no doubt the snow will soon transform these landscapes.

Plenty more days like this lie ahead—just with a little more snow on the peaks. That’s what makes New Zealand’s winter Tahr season one of the most rewarding adventures you’ll experience.

An epic morning in the hills. The rain moved on, stags were roaring, and we found a true standout. A unique giant, with first light showcasing his crowns, heavy mass, sweeping main beams, and drop tines
