Liberated or selectively-bred animals do not qualify as free-range game. Free-range land can either be public or privately-owned. (Note: under New Zealand law it is illegal to liberate game animals onto public conservation land). https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/693190d4941ea732cd260cc0/1768441907730-9YYM5KG77AP8FN2ESM2J/JOE06020+-+cover.jpg For Guides - Game Estate ‘Game Estate’ is the term given to an enclosed area of private land with natural or man-made barriers (generally accepted as species-specific fencing), that serves the purpose of containing game animals and preventing other animals from entering and is operated for the primary purpose of hunting. To qualify as a game estate, properties must meet industry agreed standards as set out by the New Zealand Association of Game Estates (NZAGE). These standards cover fencing, disease surveillance, animal welfare, client safety, minimum area, environment, and other parameters. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/693190d4941ea732cd260cc0/1768442014419-D0NARGEG8RPDAXI5GZPG/EA_24-167_1000.jpg For Guides - Fair Chase ‘Fair Chase’ is the term given to a hunt that takes place on public or private land, either free-range or game estate, where the hunted species can expess natural behaviours and has a reasonable and realistic chance of evading the hunter. A fair chase hunt depends on a number of factors including cover, area, terrain, the species sought, animal domesticity and hunter ability. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/693190d4941ea732cd260cc0/1768441965625-ZI8H27DFOS2CUKEAZUIS/EA_24-49_1000.jpg For Guides - Hunting Block 'Hunting block' refers to areas of private land that operate wholly or in part for the purposes of hunting but do not meet, or have not been assessed against, the standards set out by the NZAGE. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/693190d4941ea732cd260cc0/1768442369320-3XBVBLUDYY2M3CAN008N/EA_24-180_1000.jpg For Guides - Feral Range Feral Range is a term adopted by the NZ Department of Conservation and refers to the geographical area in which a given game animal species is free to roam in a wild capacity. Outside the boundaries of the feral range, measures may be taken to eradicate the species to prevent further spread into new habitats. Currently, all hunting of animals, whether in a game estate or free-range, must be conducted within that species’ feral range. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/693190d4941ea732cd260cc0/1768442580236-TGQ32CE8205GTMYOJHEB/1U2A8296.jpg For Guides - Aerially-Assisted Trophy Hunting Aerially-assisted trophy hunting (AATH) is the practice of utilising helicopters to transport hunters to difficult terrain on public land for the purposes of hunting alpine animals (usually tahr or chamois). NZPHGA Code of Practice on AATH prohibits the hazing of the animal or shooting from the helicopter. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/693190d4941ea732cd260cc0/1768442913783-DBYCEDKI6X76BXCSU3LP/stag.png For Guides - Red Deer (Cervus elaphus) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/693190d4941ea732cd260cc0/1768442915693-ABZSZAG9HMHSX57LJBDN/tahr.png For Guides - Himalayan Tahr (Hemitragus jemlahicus) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/693190d4941ea732cd260cc0/1768442914148-C8W71K3DF6S15EV8D4IA/chamois.png For Guides - Chamois (Rupicapra rupicapra) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/693190d4941ea732cd260cc0/1768443067564-XLX5Z5QX3JL56QZ2HUEX/fallow.png For Guides - Fallow Deer (Dama dama) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/693190d4941ea732cd260cc0/1768443066272-V6OPL0AMZYKAHIKU1FGR/sika.png For Guides - Sika Deer (Cervus Nippon) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/693190d4941ea732cd260cc0/1768443065254-UF7WGB938VIV0BQYNRRO/wapiti.png For Guides - Wapiti / Elk (Cervus elaphus nelsonii) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/693190d4941ea732cd260cc0/1768443064208-1LEBPLG1TDGGEFL2L0JM/sambar.png For Guides - Sambar Deer (Cervus unicolour) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/693190d4941ea732cd260cc0/1768443062954-VYM79CQKVCSBRQZ43THE/rusa.png For Guides - Rusa Deer (Cervus timorensis) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/693190d4941ea732cd260cc0/1768443061390-33JO6A3KONIGHCMQ48N6/whitetail.png For Guides - Whitetail Deer (Odocoileous virginianus) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/693190d4941ea732cd260cc0/1768443060572-WOEQ8D8PL3BG1CCR18JI/goat.png For Guides - Pacific Goat (Capra hircus) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/693190d4941ea732cd260cc0/1768443057988-ZZ4H89HMNUOWNBWCP23B/boar.png For Guides - Captain Cook Boar (Sus scrofa) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/693190d4941ea732cd260cc0/1768443057661-NUUF515IW5GZKVWMWC41/ram.png For Guides - Arapawa Ram (Ovis Arapawa) https://www.nzphga.co.nz/membership daily 0.75 2026-01-21 https://www.nzphga.co.nz/executive daily 0.75 2026-02-18 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/693190d4941ea732cd260cc0/a1bb950f-2dd1-4cf0-b6a5-7b5466350104/Chris+portrait.jpeg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/693190d4941ea732cd260cc0/df51004b-4f0b-463f-9ec3-f1ffba3c894c/shaun-11.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/693190d4941ea732cd260cc0/fff97c56-c583-4823-bf60-68bac92e3745/20251030_170401%281%29.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/693190d4941ea732cd260cc0/01a3488d-59f1-4fdb-8c64-66022fd24c1e/20251030_170401%281%29.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/693190d4941ea732cd260cc0/9daa6151-8da5-458f-ae8f-c4b0bda43ba7/723E4652-9ED9-4E2A-BF63-979A404BB4B0.png https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/693190d4941ea732cd260cc0/54761070-dcf1-44d4-bbb6-bab8f0b80ce1/20251030_170401%281%29.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/693190d4941ea732cd260cc0/1769894458544-UMGTR7AD6QCHQCXGINLT/unsplash-image-ZcDjyPNLQ8w.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/693190d4941ea732cd260cc0/fd5c0dbe-d790-496f-a439-c113dd7da65b/20251030_170401%281%29.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/693190d4941ea732cd260cc0/0ae9c361-576a-4ca0-8429-c4907fbef060/20251030_170401%281%29.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/693190d4941ea732cd260cc0/2988214b-36e0-41b9-ae45-8bb748d03e1a/20251030_170401%281%29.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/693190d4941ea732cd260cc0/0198cb40-e77d-427a-9716-5565de9fbf14/20251030_170401%281%29.jpg
