Short-Notice Opportunity: Elite Roar Hunt for Hunters Ready to Act

Staveley, New Zealand (January 2026) – Backcountry New Zealand is offering a short-notice, peak-season Red Stag roar hunt for hunters capable of committing quickly. Due to a rescheduled booking, a premium hunting window from March 16–20, 2026 is now available—placing the successful hunter in the field during the most coveted phase of the rut.

“This is the kind of opportunity serious trophy hunters wait years for,” said Myriam Birt, co-owner of Backcountry New Zealand. “The timing, conditions, and exclusivity align perfectly for an unforgettable experience.”

The hunt will take place on carefully managed private land in New Zealand’s Southern Alps, guided personally by the Backcountry New Zealand team. With roaring stags active throughout the day, hunters can expect intense calling, hard-earned stalks, and encounters with fully mature animals at their peak condition.

Designed for individuals or small parties with flexible travel schedules, this hunt offers a once-off chance to secure a world-class roar experience without the usual long lead times. As with all Backcountry New Zealand hunts, only one hunting party will be hosted, ensuring total focus and a highly personalized experience.

Interested hunters are encouraged to enquire immediately, as this rare peak-rut opening will be filled quickly.
