Additional experiences are available on request to explore the ‘non hunting/fishing’ offerings within Central Otago.

FREE RANGE hunting on private land with exclusive hunting access to properties in Otago. This type of hunting has a high success rate and offers moderately high animal numbers with low hunting pressure yet still has the challenge of wild free ranging animals and NO fences.
