I think the guides association has a bulk concession for all its members, and from memory a tahr or chamois costs $150 to DoC. Plus there is a yearly concession fee, of not much, and probably a daily fee as well. Some concessionaires I know in the tramping/biking/touring type stuff pay between $15 and $22 per person per day. And the helicopter Co has an annual concession fee as well as a landing fee per landing, $70 from memory. Trophy fees for a 400 class stag are about US$12,000-15,000, the game estate gets approx 1/2 of that [maybe in NZ$] and the "guide" or "outfitter" gets the other half, or more.
