The New Zealand Chapter was founded in 1989/90 by Malcom North and a small group of others including Gary Joll and Terry Jacobs. The aims were to have a hunting organisation that would best represent the sport of hunting in New Zealand to an international standard, to promote game animal management and to be politically active in support of hunting and hunter generated conservation.
Thirty-two years later we are proud of our history and list of achievements, one of which was the erecting of the bronze tahr statue at Lake Pukaki in 2014. Funded by hunters and particularly Safari Club New Zealand this statue is popular with tourists and the public and celebrates the gifting of five tahr to New Zealand by the Duke of Bedford in 1904.
