New Caledonia is a tropical Island. Warm during the day and cool at night. The ocean waters around the island are rich with exotic fish and beautiful corals. Hunting of these, world class, Rusa Stags is generally done between mid July and the end of August, this being the rut period.

It is not unusual for a hunter to see over a hundred deer during a day and often will view several trophy stags. These hunts are for entirely free ranging deer with no high fences involved. The world record for Rusa Stag has been broken several times in the past few years, in New Caledonia, this is a chance to take a new record. Hunting is done by walking, spotting and stalking. As the terrain is gentle rolling hills or coastal flat areas, the physical requirements are not high.

Accommodations are in air - conditioned bungalows with private facilities, situated on hotel grounds where you will have your meals.

As the prime hunting period for Rusa is limited, we advise any hunter contemplating this the “best deer hunt in the world” to make an early booking. You will not be disappointed!

Javan Rusa Deer are available wild and free on the island of New Caledonia. The only time to hunt for Javan Rusa Deer in New Caledonia is during the rut from mid-July to mid-August each year. Hunting begins well before daylight. Listen for the stags roaring and then attempt to close on elected stags prior to daybreak by glassing and stalking woodlot edges on unfenced farmlands.
