One of the rarest hunts in the country. New Zealand's small, free-ranging whitetail population lives in a handful of remote pockets, and a mature buck is a genuine collector's trophy that few hunters ever take. This is a demanding, low-odds spot-and-stalk hunt for the serious deer hunter chasing something truly uncommon. Day rates cover accommodation, main meals and guiding ($500 per hunter / $250 per non-hunter, per day). A $1,000 reserve holds your dates — request this season's open windows and a Dispatch advisor takes care of the rest.

Tough, fair and unforgettable. We glassed hard for days before I got my shot at a mature Whitetail Buck. South Island is stunning. Dispatch set expectations honestly up front — no sales pitch, just straight talk.
Can't say enough about this one. The Whitetail Buck hunt in South Island pushed me, but the crew took great care of us. Trophy care was excellent and the whole thing ran like clockwork. Already planning my next trip with them.
Second hunt with Dispatch and the Whitetail Buck trip did not disappoint. South Island is no joke — physically demanding — but the camp, the food and the guiding were all first class. Tagged out on a great animal and made memories that'll last forever.
