Premier New Zealand Chamois Hunt on the West Coast
This preferred outfitter delivers a truly wild and rewarding New Zealand Chamois Hunt on the rugged West Coast, an area known for dramatic alpine terrain and healthy, free-range chamois populations. Thanks to decades of local knowledge, this operation consistently places hunters in prime locations to pursue mature trophy animals in spectacular mountain settings.
Free-Range Alpine Chamois Hunting
Alpine chamois are among the most challenging mountain species to hunt. They are exceptionally alert, highly agile, and thrive in steep, broken terrain. Therefore, success requires smart planning, careful glassing, and experienced guidance. Fortunately, this outfitter specializes in free-range chamois hunting and focuses on areas where animals are often located within a manageable 1–2 hour walk from camp. As a result, hunters with a reasonable level of fitness can realistically pursue a trophy of a lifetime.
Access, Terrain, and Hunting Style
Access to hunting areas is achieved by either helicopter or 4WD vehicle, depending on conditions and location. Consequently, hunters maximize time in productive country rather than exhausting themselves on long approaches. Once in the field, much of the hunt revolves around patient glassing and strategic stalks, all while surrounded by breathtaking alpine scenery.
Season Timing and Rut Activity
Chamois can be hunted year-round; however, the prime season runs from February through July. Additionally, the rut occurs from May to July, making this period especially exciting as bucks are more visible and active. This timing offers excellent opportunities for both trophy quality and dynamic hunting experiences.
Comfortable Camps and Guided Experience
Hunts are based out of comfortable tent camps designed to keep hunters protected from the elements while still immersed in the wilderness. Each hunt is a 5-day, 5-night adventure with 1×1 professional guiding, ensuring personalized attention and maximum opportunity.
Customize with Additional Species
Moreover, this outfitter offers the flexibility to combine your New Zealand Chamois Hunt with other species such as Fallow Deer, Himalayan Tahr, Red Stag, and Waterfowl. Ultimately, this creates a highly customizable and unforgettable New Zealand mountain hunting adventure.
