Red Stag Chile
Red Stag Chile – Season 2017
Again in 2017, around the second week of March, Stags began coming down the mountains looking for hinds like clockwork. The roar was strong and steady until mid-April, probably peaking around March 26. We only harvested two bulls in 2017, but both were huge!! We decided to limit the season to only two stags since we noticed that there were many of the big boys that were still strong for the rut and able to handle the winter… also, there were a lot of hinds to cover. So for this past year, two was enough. For 2018, well have a good number of older stags to chase and we are expecting a new record anytime! We still have two open spots for 2018 due to a cancellation.

Chile Red Stag Hunting Report – Season 2013
During the first week of March bulls began streaming down the mountains, out of the woods, and into the valleys. The rut was slightly delayed due to warmer weather in mid-month, peaking around March 25. Throughout the season we found prolific numbers of young stags poised to be exceptional trophies in the years to come. The outlook for next year, according to what we’ve documented, is exceptional. Expect to find plenty of big stags in the area. Remaining openings are filling fast. Book soon to ensure your 2014 shooting adventures.

Red Stag Chile – End of Season 2012 Report
Few people know that a patch of forest and hills in the central valley of southern Chile hides some of the biggest wild red stags in the world. RSP has exclusive hunting rights to these grounds and is well versed in the intricacies of the area. This past season was another success, with the big stags venturing out of the woods like clockwork for the mid-March rut. Our guest harvested nice bulls, most of them during misty mornings that are so typical of the Chilean woods—a similar esthetic to the forests in Eastern Europe. We expect a great 2013 season, so far winter has been mild and the herds appear to be fat and healthy. Antler growth should be excellent.

Chile Red Stag Hunting Report – Season 2011
The 2011 Red Deer season in the Central Valley of Chile was very good, as we have come to expect. With a good, strong rut during most of March and early April. The big bulls showed up in the valleys and open fields by late March. Some monsters never came down during the day and stayed most of the time in the deepest woods up the mountains, coming out only at dark for a few hours. Those big guys will be at the estate this next 2012 season and unless nature culls the herd, they will be around again. These Stags are not easy to hunt, but they are the biggest 100 % wild Red Deer in South America, comparable only to the those that live in the darkest forests of Eastern Europe. (we don’t include New Zealand in our consideration, since almost all the big stags there are killed behind high fences) The “Fundo” (Ranch in Chile) is looking great and green this spring with lots of food for the game. We harvest very few stag each season, only old mature bulls that have finished their reproductive life. Hunts at this property are very limited, so we advise to book well in advance if you are interested in this one in a lifetime trophy hunting opportunity.
