New
Caledonia is a French protectorate island about 2 hours north (flying time) from
Sydney Australia. This island is
about 50 miles long and about 8 miles wide.
What you need to know about this island is that it contains the largest
Rusa Deer in the world (Javan Rusa Deer). They
are almost impossible to find in the jungle; but during their rut (June/July)
they can be found in large numbers right on the shore line.
The new world record Javan Rusa are from the island and so are the remaining top 10. Pretty much a one specie hunt, but very good hunting during the rut. And for the women- There is a Club Med on the island, about 3 hour drive from hunting country (although not very far- rough 4x4 roads). New Caledonia makes a good second hunt (for Rusa) in conjunction with a Tahr and Chamois hunt in New Zealand (New Caledonia is also about 2 hours flying time northwest of Auckland, NZ.)
