John Berry Hunting Consultants Ltd are New Zealand Hunting Guides who offer outfitted guided hunts for all the big game species currently available in the South Pacific.

If you need a New Zealand hunting guide here in New Zealand, I personally guide or supervise hunts for: Red Stag, Wapiti (Elk), Thar (Tahr), Chamois, Fallow Buck, Whitetail, Sika, Sambar and Pere David deer as well as Feral Goat, Arapawa Ram and Boar. These hunts are offered both Free Range and under Game Estate conditions. 

The New Zealand hunting season is generally from early March through July for the deer species – Red Stag, Wapiti, Fallow, etc. However some species such as Sika and Fallow can be successfully hunted later. Thar (Tahr), Chamois and Feral Goat can be hunted at anytime of the year, but the capes are best between late April and September.

New Caledonia Rusa Stag hunts are offered during late July and August – this coincides with the rut period.  I personally guide these entirely Free Range hunts, for exceptional trophy Rusa Stags.

My Australian hunts are conducted for trophy Buffalo, Banteng, Rusa Stag (Moluccan subspecies), Axis, Sambar and Hog Deer.  Feral Boar and Blackbuck may also be available. The Australian hunts are conducted either Free Range or Game Estate depending on the client’s wish and the trophies sort. 

The Australian hunting season generally runs from May through August in the Northern Territory – the area used for Buffalo and Banteng hunting.  While this period provides the best climatic conditions for hunting these species, they maybe taken outside this time if required.  In the southern parts of Australia the season extends into early March for the deer species.
