The Huntsman – Season 4

Season 4 - The Kiwi Experience

In Season 4 of The Huntsman, Chris Waters, Brad Johnson, and Jordi Ellingham cross the pond to tackle the majestic landscapes of New Zealand’s South Island. Partnering with Helicopters Nelson, the team trades the 4WD tracks for rotor blades, chopping into the heart of some of the world’s most beautiful wilderness.

The journey begins in a remote valley on a private station, where the crew sets up at a rugged basecamp in a converted water tank. Amidst the raw beauty of the South Island, they spend four days honing their skills and filling the larder, pursuing red stags, fallow bucks, goats as they prepare for the ultimate test of endurance.

The stakes rise as the team is airlifted 2,000 meters above sea level, dropped onto a knife-edge ridge in the high-country public land. With the pre-rut in full swing for both deer and chamois, the hunters must navigate thin air and treacherous terrain in search of the elusive chammy.

This season captures the essence of the Southern Alps—vivid, vast, and volatile. From the hum of the chopper to the silence of the alpine peaks, join the crew as they experience the grit and glory of New Zealand hunting. This is The Huntsman—taking the pursuit to new heights.
