Very Satisfied
Having been a hunting and fishing lodge owner for 25 yrs, I was very happy with all aspects of the hunt. Great country, lots of game, and extremely knowledgeable guides. Hunted with crossbow.
Exceeded ALL expectations!!!
They completely exceeded every expectation that we had. Truly one of the most amazing hunts we have been on. From the quality of the animals, to the physical hunts themselves, to the generosity and hospitality of everyone there. Taking a trophy of a lifetime at the top of a mountain in New Zealand with your son, words can not describe it. We have already started planning our 2nd visit to hunt the south and north islands with Brent and team. Can't wait to come back!!! Thank you Brent, Wendy, Adrian and Josh you are the BEST!!!
We had to leave.
The hunt you hope and pray for!
Liked it all, it was the total package! Great people, great facilities, and oh yes great hunting. Would go back again in a heart beat!!
