We specialize in free range Tahr and Chamois hunts.We also cater for most other New Zealand Game species(Red Stag,Wild Boar,Wild Sheep,Feral Goats and small game). We have access to private land and through our membership in

NZPHGA a large concession to hunt public land. Check out our website or send us a message to book your next adventure of a lifetime!

Alex and Keane with a great wild ram.
There are some small pockets of feral sheep still in the wilderness of NZ. Remnants of failed farming operations these sheep make an interesting and exciting hunt add on to a stag or chamois hunt.

Return client Alex with a great Chamois buck taken after some very close and exciting rutting action. Nothing quite like a rutting Chamois buck to keep you on your toes. Curious, fast and super mobile they are always fun hunting during the rut.

Few summer snaps from the summer that wasn't.

Wettest summer in my memory that's for sure. Was hard to get many of the missions we had planned done, but sometimes the weather man wins.

Fresh dusting of snow on the hills tonight and first wilderness hunt tomorrow!

Some times you get lucky!

A nice double up on chamois bucks from last season.

Chamois in peak rut can be very exciting to hunt, extremely active and curious, they always keep you on your toes.

This is the 3rd double up I've had in my guiding career so far. Often with two bucks chasing each other you can shoot one, and the other comes to see what's happening.

Huge thank you to everyone who made this year happen, my clients for continuing to trust us to make them dream hunts come true and my family for supporting me to make it happen.

Was another great year in the mountains and looking forward to next season already!
