The Hunters Club

- Season 1

(2015)

Hunting the majestic Himalayan Tahr is much easier said than done. Dan and Sam head deep into the Southern Alps to show viewers the skill, dedication and effort required to successfully bring home the bacon.

The 'Grey Ghosts' of Stewart Island are an extremely elusive deer, one that requires skill, stealth and a lot of patience to successfully hunt. We spend a week on this slice of untouched paradise at the bottom of NZ.

The first weekend in May signals the start of the Duck Shooting season in New Zealand. This momentous occasion is an absolute religion in the deep South.

Sika Deer are the jewel of NZ's North Island, providing some of the best venison around. We set out in late winter to target a few good eating animals for the barbecue season ahead.

After a huge Red Stag is spotted on a reconnaissance trip, the lads return 3 weeks later in the hope of a return visit, and also in the hope that the big 12 pointer will have begun to strip his velvet to reveal the prized antler beneath.

We head to the famous Molesworth Station, New Zealand's largest working farm, to lend a hand in reducing Canada Geese numbers, which have become quite a problem here in NZ.

The lads hit the road for majestic Mount Cook National Park, home of NZ's largest mountain, to the exact same spot where 12 months earlier a gigantic bull tahr managed to give them the slip.

Helicopters, whitewater rafting, jet boats, fly fishing, eeling and hunting red deer on the flats, this mission has a bit of everything. We're joined by Josh James the Kiwi Bushman on a colorful expedition in deepest darkest Westland.

We are joined by Emma, the newly married wife of one of our regular hunters Dan, and set out to bag Emma her first ever chamois buck, but it's much easier said than done.

In this double length special, the team head into Fiordland for the 'Bugle', the time of year when the prized Wapiti, or Elk, the largest and most majestic of all deer species, are in full voice.
