A THRILLING HUNT

The Fallow Buck is one of the least hunted deer species, yet is one of the most thrilling hunts a hunter can experience. During the “croak”, where the bucks emit a frog like noise, bucks are active all day and night and commonly engage in fights. The most aggressive deer species in New Zealand, they often damage and break antlers.

A mature buck could have up to 25 points and have a distinct palmation to their antlers, which alter from buck to buck, making them very unique and individual. No two bucks are the same!!!!

Fallow come in 3 distinct colors. Chocolate, Brown and White. The brown fallow will have white spots making for an attractive coat, and white fallow can, and most often have brown spots, contrasting against their white coats beautifully. Their skins are highly sought after, as they make fantastic rugs or throws.

FALLOW BUCK HUNTING

FITNESS LEVEL REQUIRED

  • We can tailor the hunts to match you fitness
  • Although we will access the hunting area in our 4WD you need a medium level of fitness to pursue some stags or retrieve your trophy

HUNTING SEASON

  • The Fallow Bucks are in hard antler from late February to August. Our most popular time is during the the rut or ‘croak’ as it is called in New Zealand. This takes place usually from the start of April to the end of April. Bucks can be taken outside of the “croak” as well. Being very aggressive animals, they can damage and even break antlers, so an early season buck is a great trophy.

YOUR HUNTERS SANCTUARY

 

Fallow bucks are hunted on our own Firey Peak Station. With lots of gulleys and draws, scrub and bush, it makes ideal habitat for these sneaky and elusive animals.

Probably the best outfitted hunt I have ever been on. Beautiful lodge and property. The guides were top notch and extremely professional. The food was excellent and everybody in the organization was a pleasure to deal with. They all went above and beyond to make sure we had a great time.

“What an experience! Luke’s knowledge of the station we hunted and his consummate skills as a guide made for fantastic hunting.  We saw lots of game and two spectacular stags, one of which became mine. Thanks Luke and the Monarch staff for making my hunt of a lifetime happen. We will do this again!”
