Where you will hunt
Territory
Its fair to say I know our hunting block, Mt Maude, like the back of my hand, well enough to refer to it as “my Maude”. With a main 4WD track leading to the summit of Little Mt Maude (845m), we favour hunting Maude from the top down and make good use of the leading ridges as well as an extensive network of hunting tracks cut to follow existing game trails and contours. It’s tough, honest mountain hunting terrain made easier by the extensive knowledge of our guide team, the track network, and the balance between open grasslands and native manuka and kanuka brush country. Plenty of cover, plenty of feed and well managed hunting help provide outstanding hunting opportunities.

Awesome hunting experience in New Zealand
I liked the layout of the hunting land. Spotting and stalking mixed with some stand/blind hunting. Something for all levels of conditioning and experience. Plenty of game to keep it very interesting.
I probably picked a bad time to go as it was towards the end of the hunting season. Lots of game to see but hard to get close.
The hunting trip that I always dreamed it would be.
I loved everything about the hunt. And looking to return at soon point.
Ended to soon. Was having such a good time I didn’t want to go home.
Excellent hunting experience
The quality and abundance of game in some beautiful and challenging terrain, excellent service from Gerald, Duncan, and Ruth (top notch, professional, and personable) and amazing accommodation in Lake Hawea close to the hunting grounds of Mt. Maude. To say this was a trip of a lifetime is an understatement, my friend and I got exactly what we were hoping for from the experience in terms hunting some challenging terrain, putting on a few good miles on foot, and shooting some amazing animals. I personally couldn’t be happier with the hunt and would recommend Gerald and team as an outfit for a New Zealand hunt any day.
The long flight was about it.
