    While it is not something I would ever have the money or desire to do, NZ is quite a bit cheaper than the same offerings overseas. And some of the prices for those animals are closer to $250k than $50k. And they dont stay in a tent either......

    Cool video.

    It just proves that you can buy anything you want, if you have the money.

    Like most of you, means nothing to me.

    a stag with a tree on its head! It's bloody ugly and even if I had a wallet big enough I would shoot it because it wouldn't fit on my wall

    Try hundreds of thousands. Tower Farms sold one at $138,000 this year. Crowley's top deer "Nixon" went hunting for $300,000, that might have been it!

    Hes probably done us all a favour by taking it out of the gene pool. But the best bit is he paid to do it.

    There was never going to be much risk of that one making it into the public herd gene pool

    As a foreigner looking to come to NZ and hunt/hike the area I thought about hiring a guide but after seeing the prices, I am better off finding some decent folks and buying them beer (for some of the prices I saw I could get a whole town drunk!). If i get general directions from them awesome, If I get a deer great, if not then I will at least have seen some awesome landscapes. At least that's how I grew up hunting, look for a good area way out that few want to hunt and spend the time exploring on the way. It's not about killing everything but the experience.

    I sent the video link to my (well read) US mate and here's what he had to say:

    " There is a gradual shift in the thinking on this in the US. Once widely criticized, fee-based high-fence hunting, including for imported exotics, is slowly beginning to be seen as another element in the overall conservation tool kit. Even the anti-hunters here are beginning to accept the truth that controlled hunting, in Africa, the US, etc. can be economically viable to the landowners and actually promotes the long term survivability of game (and non-game) species against the onslaught of relentless habitat loss. The downside here is as ever more quality hunting property is leased exclusively for pay-to-hunt, it is much harder for the working class citizen to find decent areas to even meat hunt as has been done traditionally for generations. The fear, and from the trending it is real, is that the US is morphing into the European model where hunting is largely tailored to the well-heeled at the expense of the common man."

    Thats is much like how most of us feel. There is aways a market for the big $$$ same as cars have a market for old fellows with money to own ferraris that have never seen a race track but the General population still moves about in corrollas and utes...

    You couldn't drink a whole towns worth of beer by yourself but if you invited Gibo and I and made it the King of beers that we were drinking, I reckon we would give it a good nudge.

    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms
