Don Patterson specialises in scrupulously fair chase hunts after world-class trophy quarry. His motto is simple: seize the moment. And through natural skill, dexterity and years of experience, he will ensure you are in a commanding position to secure the trophy, or trophies of a lifetime.
Hunting on Manuka Point sparks the imagination and exhilarates the spirit.
Don’s hunting haunts encompass the heart of the trophy-producing Rakaia area – an area famous for stags, bucks and bulls that grow mass, multiple points, length and spread. It is quite literally a knockout, one of a kind environment, specialising in guided traditional free-range and safari park hunting – the best of both worlds.
Hunting techniques involve spot and stalk tactics. Firstly, on foot from the Lodge where, once located, game animals are stalked and shots taken, generally off sticks at distances inside 200 yards. For alpine game such as Tahr and Chamois, a modern jet helicopter and qualified, experienced (and highly professional) pilots are used to access the very best alpine habitat and mountainous terrain west of the Lodge. Shooting again is undertaken on foot and shots taken normally at distances inside 250 yards. Be prepared for exhilarating hunts.
