Join us for the annual South Island Ladies Hunt, an all-women hunting trip hosted by the Southern Lakes NZDA Branch. To see what you're getting into take a look at this video from 2022's trip: https://youtube.com/watch?v=U8uQug8ujB8&feature=shares
20 spots are open for female NZDA members to assemble in the Mavora area (between Queenstown and Te Anau) for a long weekend of authentic backcountry hunting, food and fun.
Trip accommodation is situated between 2 amazing DOC hunting blocks – Eyre Mountains and Snowden Forest/Mavora Lakes – and we will have blocks and maps organised for safe hunting with red deer, fallow deer, chamois and pigs in the area.
This event has brought many women together, forming lifelong friendships. It’s a great event and an ideal way to connect with like‑minded ladies.
