10 Days in New Zealand | Hunting, Trapping and Camping (Pt. 1/2)

Brenton Hilbig August 12, 2026

We spent 10 days hunting, fishing and camping in New Zealand, a proper Sportsman’s paradise! We’ll be flying into public land, backcountry during the month of March, spending 4 days camping, trapping and hunting fallow deer and goats. Before heading off after a New Zealand River Monster and hunting the majestic Red Stag. If you’re looking for some inspiration for a New Zealand vacation getaway, look no further!
