Backblocks Guided Hunting & Adventures
Whanganui
Backblocks Guided Hunting & Adventures runs free-range fallow deer and goat hunts on private land in the Whanganui region, with mountains, rivers and creeks forming the backdrop. The operation is geared more toward Kiwi and Australian meat hunters and weekend hunting experiences than international trophy clients.
Packages run from half-day shoots through weekenders that include accommodation in the on-farm Cottage, clay shooting and target practice. Pricing is in NZD with clear per-animal add-ons for meat fallow, management bucks and trophy bucks, plus optional rifle hire, processing and skin tanning.
It's a useful option for first-time hunters, families and groups wanting a packaged trip without the alpine logistics — walk-in foot hunting on rolling Whanganui hill country with predictable costs and on-site farmstay accommodation.
