004.jpg Red deer. 3456 x 2304 Red hinds, Chatsworth, Derbyshire 3456 x 2304: Deerstalking: home and awayStalking Pommy vs hunting Kiwi STANDFIRST: New Zealand outfitter Neville Cunningham joins UK sporting agent Rob Aiken to stalk park fallow in Derbyshire. They tell Charlie Jacoby what’s different and what’s the same about ‘estate’ stalking in their two countriesA New Zealand elk is huge. Its bodyweight is twice that of the big red stags on the Derbyshire estate where Neville is now hunting. “Comparing elk to red deer is like comparing elephants to caribou,” says Neville. “The first time a hunter walks up to the elk he or she has shot, it’s always the size that amazes.”Neville has bred three of the biggest elk under the SCI scoring system.

He came to England in August to meet his British agent Rob Aiken, who offers Neville’s yee-haa-style shooting the South Pacific big five – elk, huge red stags, fallow, Himalayan tahr and chamois in New Zealand – as well as his own, more sedate roe stalking in Scotland and genteel park fallow and reds on a large walled estate near his home in Derbyshire. Together, they are stalking the fallow of the Derbyshire estate.Neville’s shooting also takes place within a perimeter fence. Part of the reason is that the New Zealand Government is trying to contain the populations of exotics that Neville offers. However, while Rob’s walled estate is big at 2,500 acres with 12,000 acres of extra land containing deer in pockets of forestry, Neville’s fenced area of 6,000 acres and his 70,000-acre concession, both on remote Mt Cook are colossal. Rob says: “When you go stalking in the UK, you have every chance of seeing something as soon as you step out of the vehicle. In New Zealand, because of its size,
