Anybody know of any places in NZ that offer self guided red deer hunts with trespass and trophy fees?

I think pretty much all of the better private properties (South Island anyway) will have some kind of guide provided and it may not add much to the hunt cost anyhow. Maybe some of the Maori-owned blocks on the north island are still offering self-guided??

Yeah. Matt pretty well sums it up. ALL of the worthwhile private land is tied up with guiding operations . BUT that's only relevant during the main hunting season, March thru end of May.
I can put you onto one of a couple of properties in Wanaka after May. Landowners will appreciate the business I'm more interested in Thar and Chamois and brownie points than guiding out side the rut.
Saw 6 stags in a group last week which included a very very good 6x7 or maybe he was 7x7 around 300DS. No use to me but could be fun for you. Very hit and miss but its an option. OR invest another $2500-$3000 and let a guide show you around as Matt suggested.
