Sporting Shooter

Glen Dene Red Stag

GLEN Dene station is situated on the South Island of New Zealand between the shores of Lake Hawea and Lake Wanaka. Covering some 15,000 acres, it is a working deer, sheep and cattle farm and is also home to a variety of wildlife, some of which include wild ram, red deer, fallow deer, chamois and also tahr on adjoining properties to which they have access. Trophy hunting begins around February and runs through to late October with packages to suit solo or group hunters, families or corporate gatherings. They also offer some excellent trout fishing.

Owned and operated by Richard and Sarah Burdon, Glen Dene can offer game park hunts for the time or fitness challenged or a true wilderness hunt in the high country overlooking some of the most spectacular alpine scenery New Zealand has to offer. While their game park hunts offer exceptional trophy quality, their free-range wilderness hunts are a bit more physically demanding, but can also produce some excellent trophies, thanks to three generations of game management by the Burdon family.
