Ways we hunt

The hunt is on…hunting in New Zealand is thoroughly enjoyable for all involved, for complete beginners to the most experienced worldwide hunters, however it can be challenging and conditions often harsh. The fitter you are, the better equipped you are, the more enjoyable and rewarding it can be. However, we will tailor a hunt to your ability and level of fitness. Our safaris encompass glassing often with binoculars and spotting scope to confirm the desired animal to get a hunt on and to do so we are hiking, or utilizing our modern 4×4 vehicles, side by side buggies, jet boats and helicopters to access prime hunting locations and stalking is carried out on foot.

Archery Hunting

With a long history of guiding archery hunters, we welcome our bow hunters to experience the ultimate challenge of stalking a south pacific trophy animal with your bow. Feel your heart pound and the stillness in the air when you are at full draw within yards of your trophy. Our hunting is spot & stalk, utilising natural cover as blinds. While you prepare for your New Zealand bow hunt, you must come prepared to hike and stalk in steep arduous country where you must practice your shots from a kneeling & sitting position, as this is realistic on how you will be setting up for a bow shot anywhere in New Zealand. We welcome archery hunters, if you have the time we have the patience!
