Bucket list hunt!

10.0 of 10

Assume hunt, From the first contact with Joy to getting dropped off by Tim. They were both amazing people. Hunting out of the tin shack at the foothills and chasing tahr was on my bucket list for years. The service they provided were second to none! We saw lots of animals and both my hunting partner and I were successful in our hunt. Thanks Joy and Tim – We will be back!

Really there was nothing that sticks out that was not fun or enjoyable! Airlines lost my hunting gear on the way out there but Joy took the time with the airline and we had it on the next flight which only delayed us 2 hours and no hunting time.

Free range Tahr

10.0 of 10

The free range Tahr hunt in the southern Alps was the full experience I was looking for. Accommodations were excellent from the alpine cabin in the mountains to the lodge for the fallow deer hunt. Tim, my guide was knowledgeable, and took care of everything. Food was great, scenery was great! Lots of animals in the valley we hunted.

No complaints

Unforgettable hunt of a lifetime

10.0 of 10

Booking was an absolute breeze thanks to Joy & Tim was super accommodating for my hunt. Anything and everything I wanted to tackle in my 4 day hunt was taken care of and more! I’ve never had so much fun in my life. As a Canadian using thermal gear and spotlights was really cool and I couldn’t get enough we hunted day and night, Tim had top of the line equipment ensuring no target was walking away. My hunt was jammed pack with action with a ram, goats/wallabys/deer/hares/possums/boars. I can’t wait to come back for years to come.

My face hurts from smiling from smiling the whole time during the hunt/stay with New Zealand Trophy Hunting.
