Hunting Areas

The deer thrive on the peaceful location of Te Manga station and surrounding properties. The untouched fairchase hunting estate is the best area of native New Zealand bush for miles around and the native tree cover and grasslands make it perfect for the deer to live in and for hunting them.

Fairchase Hunting Estate

Te Manga Hunting's fairchase hunting estate a large ring fenced area and is mainly native bush which consists of river bed hunting, big clearings, dense and open bush, a few areas of pines and grassland. Years ago wild deer were fenced in, hence all the deer are completely wild except for a hand full of genetic red stags we released which are all now gone. We pride ourselves as being the real deal and do not release stags into our estate. The wild fallow blood lines were already carrying some magnificent heads so there was no reason to introduce different bloodlines. It is very challenging hunting that really gets the blood running. Our Hunting is truly unique, in that we do not even know what’s in there, just that there are great trophies to be had. So it is just as exciting for us, as it is for our hunters. The estate is a great place, where it feels like you could be any where else in the New Zealand mountains. It is truly an amazing place to hunt during the roar with stags and bucks roaring all around you.
