Hunting Wild Goats, Wallabies & Pigs in New Zealand

I can take you on some exciting small game hunting including hunting the wallaby in tussock country, wild boar and goat hunting.

Wallaby

The red-necked or brush Wallaby Macropus rufogrisea was liberated around 1874 in the Hunter hills near Waimate. Wallaby shooting offers top sport as it is really fast action in open tussock country and will really test your shooting skills as well as providing the opportunity to secure a unique trophy. I thoroughly recommend adding a day or two of Wallaby hunting to your trip.

Wild Pig Hunting

Wild pigs Sus scofa were liberated here in New Zealand by Captain James Cook on his second voyage to the country back in 1773.  The European Wild Boar is a large coarse-haired animal standing 36 inches at the shoulder and can weigh up to 250 – 300 lbs. It often has a pronounced dorsal crest (razor back) which we Kiwis refer to as a “Captain Cooker”. The best way to hunt for boars is with a team of trained hunting dogs and our pig hunting guide Luke Nickless. Luke is a well known local pig hunter with a great reputation for delivery thrilling hunts.

Wild Goat Hunting

Wild Goats Capra hircus were liberated here by Captain James Cook back in 1769 and are well established in both the North and South Islands. Hunting opportunities are plentiful and offer an additional game species, as well as a good day or two out.
