Sambar Deer Hunting
Sambar deer are similar to Rusa deer, and were introduced to the North Island of New Zealand in 1875. New Zealand is the only place in the world that you can hunt Sambar deer. A mature stag can weigh nearly 700 pints and has very dense antlers that are somewhat similar in appearance to rusa antlers. They are hard antlered from late May through September, and the rut is mid June to August.

Our hunt was excellent.
We saw bucks every day along with all other sorts of wildlife. Mountain goats, bears, and foxes were common sights. Fishing and crabbing was special bonus. The food was excellent, the crew was amazing. Outdoors International did a great job of finding exactly what we were looking for.

What an amazing experience!
The hunting lodge was out of this world!, Rooms, food and the scenery were all A+. Our guide was exceptional and had us on Shiras moose all five days. We saw over 30 total with at least 10 bulls. They had a plan for everything including taxidermy and game processing.
