Hunt in an awe-inspiring wilderness that time has forgotten and man has not yet fully explored. Spot animals from afar before stalking in close to the trophy of your choice. Glazebrook is rapidly becoming a favourite destination of hunters from Australia and around the world. You’ll need to be fit to stalk a roaring Red Stag on the steep scree slopes, or track a Fallow Buck through scrubby native forest. And you’ll need the utmost patience to spot the wary chamois in the rocky basins beneath the snow-clad mountainous peaks. But it’s an experience you will never forget. For those in search of the ultimate trophy, Glazebrook’s game estate offers over 3000 acres of extreme hunting, including trophy Red Stag and Fallow Buck. Chamois are hunted from the snow-capped mountain peaks, fully-guided and accessible by helicopter.
The hunting season begins in late February and continues to the end of August. Our guides are high country specialists and work tirelessly to put you in the right place at the right time.
The action builds throughout the month. Stags will progressively become more interested in the hinds and usually start occupying rutting territories by the second week of March. It is the availability of cycling hinds that motivates the love struck stags at this time of the year. With good numbers of hinds throughout the 9,000 ha property the stags spread far and wide to get their piece of the action. Stags will be roaring hard in the third and fourth week – to the point that it can be difficult to sleep! Fallow bucks may make a noise or two late in the month encouraged by the reds having a party but they come in to their own in April.
Red Stags and Fallow Bucks roam Glazebrook Station. While helicopters will transport you from the lodge, down the Waihopai Valley in search of Tahr and Chamois.
Hunting at Glazebrook is truly an amazing experience. The terrain is challenging but incredibly spectacular and the quality and number of game is outstanding.
