Fallow Deer – A Unique Trophy with Character and Challenge

Waterfowl hunting at Lammermoor offers a classic high-country experience with stunning scenery and great shooting opportunities. The station’s wetlands, river margins, and paddocks attract a variety of game birds, including mallards, paradise ducks, and Canadian geese. With low hunting pressure and plenty of space to set up, it’s the ideal setting for a relaxed but rewarding day in the field.

Whether you're calling geese as they pass over the flats or setting up for ducks near the river's edge, the variety of species and landscapes keeps things interesting. Waterfowl hunting can also be a great way to round out your trip—especially during the cooler months, when bird numbers are high and many of our big game seasons are in full swing.

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.
