Rusa deer are native to Indonesia, but are most commonly hunted in New Zealand where they were mistakenly introduced in 1907. The people introducing them thought they were sambar deer. You will hunt them on the East coast of New Zealand’s North Island. They are difficult to hunt because they spend the days in thick cover, and you’ll only get a few minutes in low light to make your move.

Rusa deer have long, massive, three point (typically) antlers, and mature males can weigh up to 400 pounds. They are very aggressive and social during the rut, which takes place late June through August.

We also offer some great Rusa hunts in Australia where they can be a combo with water buffalo.
