I am greatly disappointed because I thought NZ would be less expensive and I was really looking forward to a hunting trip here in 2017 for the roar.

In answer to the question posed in your headline obviously the answer is yes, because that's what they advertise and that's what people pay for four 400 plus stags and four tahr.
This is a 5+ star experience for a weekend jaunt in the hills for those who can drop into CHC or Queenstown in the Gulfstream V on their way back to Monaco or Geneva.
Various outfitters can pick your party up in matching Ferarris or Range Rovers from the airport.
Wives get the health spa treatment and helicopter picnic experience.
At least the customer gets what they pay for. No one is getting short changed.
Unlike some of the Kiwis that have been ripped off chasing a lifetime dream of an Ibex or Dahl Sheep hunt.
We don't even see these people, they use private lounges, and have personalized Customs clearance.
It's just dumb to assume that advertisement is reflective of the Kiwi hunting experience.
It's a ridiculous assumption to make.
I'd have to ask if in the time Mr dog racing has spent on the forum, has anybody posted their hunting experience similar to that advertised.? Short answer ..... No.

It's like me saying we can't afford to stay in London 'cause a night at the Ritz in $1600.00.
There are other options obviously.

Al I know is the OP wants to hunt NZ during the roar 2017. Wilderness ?, NI?, SI?, Species?, and starts bleating cause he sees a $95k price tag. WTF?

The ad hominem attacks are really fallacious arguments that are without merit.

That is like the argument from someone with a live-in mother-in-law, who loves kids, saying that you never heard them bitch about the price of daycare. I don't know any avid local hunters that hire local guides.

Midol and a tampon might help.

So you object not to the message but it's delivery, and therefore agree with me, and accept that the example you give is not typical of hunting in NZ.

Complaining about the price of safari park stags is a bit like complaining about the cost of having a Hollywood trophy wife. I am never going to have either so not point thinking about it and if by some chance I won the lottery and got to give it a try I suspect the experience would be nowhere as good as it looked!

If I type slowly, will it help you understand? Do you know what a fallacious argument is?

Type as quick as you can with all 12 fingers pal, my facetious reply is that you have no idea of the size of the fuck I couldn't give about what a fallacious argument is.

30 seconds on Google, and I've got it sorted thanks.

If you think NZ is expensive ,maybe you should hunt at home ? .
Texas Red Stag Hunts - Trophy Red Stag Hunt with Lodging - Kerrville Texas
Record Book Red Stag (350-375 SCI)
Trophy Fee - $12,500

Montreal Red Stag (376-399 SCI)
Trophy Fee - $15,000

New Zealand Class Red Stag (400-430 SCI)
Trophy Fee - $18,950

431+" Red Stag (431-499 SCI)
Trophy Fee - $28,950

500"+ Red Stag
Trophy Fee - $35,000

This comes across as some sort of Trolling attempt ??????.

After reading your last comment Mr Summit I reckon you would be better staying at home to shoot your own animals.
Using big words just confuses the fuck out of us simple folk I myself have no idea what you just said.
Google NZ hunting and you will find all types of packages to suit all people from different walks of life and budgets.
