    Let me know if you find something you like here:

    1999 Ford Diesel F250

    7.3 Diesel

    2001 F350 4x4 lifted 6 speed manual sale/trade

    2002 ford f250 powerstroke 7.3

    2002 7.3L F250 diesel (This one is too damn crazy and expensive, IMHO)

    Lifted 2001 Ford F250 7.3 Diesel (Still more than I would be willing to pay)

    2000 F250 TURBO DIESEL 4X4 CREW


    . . . and no, I am not a car dealer or in the industry.

    It's a bit embarrassing really to think that a NZ company would rip off overseas visitors with hunts like this; but who do you blame? The opportunistic guide (outfitter) or the wearily overseas client would wishes to collect a head of un-natural proportions?
    It certainly is a great way to bring large amounts of cash into our country, but as we have all seen, the large amounts of cash have encouraged some pretty unethical behaviour... Greed cases pain, yet again.

    I bet there's a whole lot of ticket clipping along the way.

    The range of what we think and do is limited by what we fail to notice. And because we fail to notice that we fail to notice, there is little we can do to change; until we notice how failing to notice shapes our thoughts and deeds

    My mate grows trophy stags for a living and make nowhere the money the game parks are making. Everyone in the trophy industry is clipping the ticket. Some stags could change five different owners before being shot and that's five trucking operators five vet T.B tests the list goes on.
    And as for very rich paying top dollars to shoot our game park animals, some people have more money than time and some just can't or won't go that far to shoot or get that trophy. I know of at least 2 game parks that had over 300 350+sci stags shot last roar at $70k-$120k its a multi million dollar business.

    They wouldn't charge it if people weren't willing to pay for it. Simple as that.
    I'm drawn to the mountains and the bush, it's where life is clear, where the world makes the most sense.

    Yes you're right. Like-- shooting animals directly from hovering helicopters, herding up animals ( tahr & chamoi) directly towards an over weight tourist planted on a convenient point etc,etc,etc.

    Supposedly called " hunting"??????????

    Also if you want to see something really expensive then work out the NZ price for that F-350 + a tank of diesel a week for a year.

    NZ - the scenery is great but everything expect for lamb chops and milk power is bloody expensive.

    I guess its also one of those perceived values type of deals
    Some people who are mega rich wont go for the cheaper option even if its the exact same because they perceive it to be of more worth when you pay more.
