Last Ever Wapiti Hunt!

Don't miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to embark on what could be Roy Sloan's last (or second last) —Wapiti hunt. Roy, General Manager of the Wapiti Foundation, has been traversing the Wapiti country for nearly 40 years. He's a true pioneer in wild deer animal management in New Zealand and has played an instrumental role in launching the current Wapiti program.

Now, you have the chance to customise your own hunting trip with Roy's guidance. Perhaps you're keen on applying for the 2024 Wapiti ballot, or if you miss out, a post-rut hunt could be an exhilarating option. If you're a fan of the warmer weather, consider a filming trip in late summer. The experience can be tailored to your preferences, from an authentic Wapiti pack-in, pack-out journey, or a flight to a non-wilderness block if your fitness level demands.

One of these options could be:

• Applying for the 2024 ballot as a hunting party. (However, if you miss out, options 2. and 3. will still apply)
• Post-rut rifle hunt.
• A pre-rut non-rifle hunt with cameras.

Conditions will apply:

• Normal ballot conditions will apply, ballot opens October 23, selected early December
• Post-rut is after the 4th period
• Hunting pre-rut will be with Camera only and will close on 01/02/24
• National park access conditions will apply at all times. Flying or boating into the Wapiti area included in the package.

This package caters for up to three people for a span of seven days. While securing a trophy isn't guaranteed, what is promised is a wealth of knowledge about Wapiti, Fiordland, and the conservation programs of the FWF. Secure your spot today with a reserve of $5,000, and prepare for an unforgettable adventure!
