How big is the area I will be hunting and Is it open range?
You will have access to our privately owned 26,000 acre wilderness or you can hunt our 4,500 acre block with estate style hunting. You also have access to 50,000 acres at privately owned Minaret Station. We also have access to a further four million acres including National Parks. We have world class hunting in all areas.
What sort of fitness level do I need?
We can tailor the hunts to match you fitness although you will need a medium level of fitness to pursue some stags or retrieve your trophy in the steep high country
When is the best time to travel for Hunting in New Zealand?
The best time for Hunting is Early February to late August. The Rut being March to Mid May which you can observe aggressive fighting between dominant stags often leaving one wounded or its a fight to the end.
What Firearm Permits do I need?
You don’t require a firearms permit when hunting with Monarch, as you will be accompanied by a Monarch guide that has a current NZ firearms license.
Can I bring my own Gun or bow?
Yes! Absolutely. Despite popular opinion New Zealand is very welcoming of hunters and their equipment. We can assist you with the necessary police paperwork before you arrival. It is important, however, that you are aware of restrictions in your home country to bring your gun back as these are often stricter than bringing your gun to New Zealand. All our guides have quality firearms ranging from .270 and 300 win mag right thru to .338 Lapua Mag for those long range shooters. Bows can be transported to New Zealand as part of your baggage allowance.
How do I get my trophy home?
We will introduce you to one of New Zealand’s most respected taxidermists. You can then decide whether you would like your trophy mounted here in New Zealand or the skin and antlers expedited and sent to you. The taxidermist will then work with you to ship your trophy home in the most cost effective and speedy method.
Can I bring my family and wife? Non hunters?
We recognise that not everyone gets to go away on a hunting trip. In fact, the greatest majority of our clients are couples and families - nearly always with at least one non-hunter. We take as much time designing our hunting vacations around the non-hunters as the hunters. We ensure there is lots to do from sightseeing to adventure activities or just relaxing with maybe a spa treatment.
How do I get New Zealand & your hunting area?
You can fly into Auckland or Christchurch with many of the major airlines. One of our team can assist you with the best way to get to New Zealand from anywhere in the world and we will offer you the best options of transfer when you arrive as part of the booking process. If you require information on driving in New Zealand or rental cars we can also supply this during your booking.

PREVIOUS HUNTS
I have been very lucky in life that I have got to travel the world and see some amazing places in my job as a rugby player. However, my heart and feet have always been firmly rooted in the towering Southern Alps around Canterbury.
I am just as happy hunting in a 50,000 acre back country field as “on the field”.
Monarch is a manifestation of that pride.
