Sarah Thoroughgood shot this Rusa deer on the August trip last year.

 

 

 

If you haven’t hunted the Ureweras before then come and experience what it has to offer. There can be Red deer, Rusa deer and wild pigs or maybe a combinations of several or all 3 of the species in the areas on offer for this annual hunting event.

John Hardy nearly didn’t go on the October trip last year as he was recovering from a broken collarbone. However, he wound his bow down, went anyway, and shot this Red deer.
