Fallow Deer – A Unique Trophy with Character and Challenge

Arapawa rams offer a truly unique trophy hunting experience at Lammermoor. Known for their long, spiraled horns and rugged appearance, these wild sheep are descendants of domestic breeds introduced to New Zealand in the early 1800s and left to adapt and survive in the backcountry. Over generations, they’ve developed into a tough, self-sufficient animal with a distinct look and strong presence.

At Lammermoor, Arapawa rams roam across challenging terrain, making them an ideal pursuit for hunters looking for something a little different. Their wary nature and sharp senses require patience, good positioning, and a steady approach. Whether you're chasing one as part of a multi-species hunt or targeting a ram specifically, the reward is a trophy that’s as rare and storied as the landscape it comes from.

King of the High Country

Red stags are widely regarded as the pinnacle of New Zealand trophy hunting—and for good reason. With mature stags often weighing around 400 pounds and carrying large, heavily beamed antlers, they command attention in the landscape and in the field. New Zealand has developed a global reputation for producing some of the finest red stags in the world, thanks to its ideal habitat and generations of thoughtful land and wildlife management.

At Lammermoor, red stags thrive across vast, varied terrain—from open tussock country to rolling ridgelines—creating a true fair-chase experience. What sets them apart is not just their size and strength, but their individuality. Each stag grows a unique set of antlers, meaning no two trophies are ever the same. Whether you're stalking through valleys or glassing from the hills, encountering a red stag in the wild is always memorable.

Especially during the rut, stags become highly territorial and vocal, constantly on the move as they defend their hinds. This combination of size, behavior, and unpredictability makes them a challenging and rewarding species to hunt, and a must for anyone seeking a classic New Zealand trophy.
