The home of sika in New Zealand

Poronui is where sika deer were first liberated in New Zealand in the early 1900s. The property remains a stronghold for the breed, with arguably the best sika hunting available anywhere in New Zealand.

Sika’s reputation for being among the most cunning of deer is well-deserved. These stags exude attitude, and the classic eight-point trophy is a great reminder of your hunt. They are extremely vocal during the rut, which runs from start to the end of April.
