PORTLAND, OR, May 22, 2010 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Big game hunters have long looked to exotic destinations like Africa and India for their trophy hunting trips. New Zealand offers spectacular trophy hunting opportunities as well as dramatic scenery for a fraction of the price. And, because deer over-population has been a serious problem in New Zealand, guided hunting trips for red stag and other species have become a method of population control as well as a popular activity for tourists.
"A number of non-native species of deer were introduced over 150 years ago by European settlers--but what they failed to realize was that New Zealand has no large predators, which meant deer populations quickly got way out of control, damaging and even eliminating many native plant populations," says Rodney Smith, VP of Sunspots Safaris. "Sport hunting helps control the populations, and the incredible wilderness areas where the hunts take place make for an amazing adventure for the trophy hunter."
Sunspots Safaris has launched www.redstaghuntingnewzealand.com
as an informational website, intended to educate trophy hunters on red deer history, terminology, red stag scoring systems, and where and when red stag hunting takes place in New Zealand.
