The perfect ‘icing’ to finish your New Zealand big game hunt. At Kaweka Hunting we offer all our hunters the opportunity for hunting Arapawa ram as an addition to any package, with both South Pacific species available as an ‘in the field’ add on.

Hunting mountain goat and ram is great for seasoned hunters as an additional trophy that can be entered into the South Pacific species record book. They are also ideal as a first trophy for novices and as an affordable New Zealand Big game trophy for youth hunters.

Arapawa ram are the wild ram hunted in New Zealand, and are thought to have been introduced to the Chatham Islands in 1841 as a food source. Although wool was eventually clipped from this South Pacific species, the Arapawa is significantly different from farmed sheep.

The sheep are descended from Spanish Merinos or Bengal (known as Whaler’s sheep after they become feral).
