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.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What do the prices include?

All Monarch prices are inclusive of everything required while you and your trophies are in our care. This includes food, accommodation, trophy fees, any land access fees if necessary, guides, transfers, rifles and ammunition.  We can guarantee the very best hunting experience for all budgets.

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 your trophy 

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. If you bring your own rifle we will need to see your firearms license.

Can I bring my own Gun or bow? 

Yes! Absolutely. However 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 in New Zealand as part of your baggage allowance. If you live in New Zealand and want to bring your own rifle we will need to see your firearms license.

How do I get my trophy home?

We will introduce you to one of New Zealand’s most respected taxidermists. 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 trips 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 but we will make everyone feel like it is their own holiday.
