Most large male wild goats in NZ die from getting caught up in the vines that hang down from the heavy rain forest. Therefore, many of the record book goats are shot in game ranches where they do not run the risk of hooking up large horns. A number of trophies are seen that exceed the record book minimum and some will score in the top 5. The Pit Island Ram is also available and, without a shadow of a doubt, we can say we have the best in the world running wild and free. These are true wild sheep.
Accommodation is in an old farm house and is comfortable.
Sleeping bags are used and can be supplied. Transport to the high ridge tops is mostly by 4 x 4 bikes. The country is moderately steep and some parts are open grass clearings while the rest is dense bush or scrub. Fitness level required is moderate. A number of deer should be seen every day, and if it's during the roar, you should see 5-20 stags a day.
