Brent, Wendy, Adrian, Jay and Jesse -
How lucky are we to have the opportunity to spend our holiday with you. Russell is beaming over his 2 Red stags; I am glowing from the sun, the surf and the warmth under the New Zealand sun; Ron is pleased with his first international excursion. The hunter, the bunny lover and the bystander are incredibly grateful for each of you.
You are the most gracious hosts; you accommodated each of our wants/needs. The meals, the camaraderie and the fully stocked bar simply added to the enjoyable experience.
Your family reminds me of a Robert Frost poem:
"The woods are lovely, dark and deep
But I have promises to keep
And miles to go before I sleep."
Thank you - the hunter (Russ), the bunny lover (Kathy) and the bystander (Ron)

We would like to sincerely thank you for the kindness, hospitality, hunting and friendship. The countryside is more than we could have imagined, so beautiful and peaceful, the game was endless and even better than expected. We are looking forward to tahr on the South Island. More new country! The food has been second to none! Thank you for the adventure.

Thank you!! This has been a wonderful father/son trip to an incredible island. Your service and hospitality have made it truly enjoyable! The family touches make it feel like hunting camp at home. When you are in the States come see us for a duck hunt and breakfast!

Thank you! What a blast. Me and my Dad were expecting a fun hunt and we got 10X what we were expecting. We ended up shooting two red stags each and couldn't be happier. We were nervous coming here to bow hunt but it worked out great! Brent and the guys didn't give up until we had our stags! What a great experience and we will come back!

Thank you all so much for a fantastic week! The hunting was unbelievable! The hospitality was great! It was an experience we will never forget!! Maybe we will meet again someday!

Amazing trip with great people. Thanks for such a memorable hunt, awesome guide by Jesse. Family like hospitality, accommodation and excellent food. Couldn't have asked for a better outfit. Would definitely be wanting to come back.

Wow! What an amazing time we had here at Mountain Hunters NZ! Wendy was such a kind host and amazing cook, every meal was perfect! Jay, Jesse and Brent made our hunt exceptional. We had the most fun hunting and sightseeing each day. The cabins were cozy and comfortable! We felt like family and were welcomed at every moment of the trip. I loved each and every minute here and can't wait to come back. Thank you kindly,

Want to thank everyone at Mountain Hunters for their outstanding welcoming. To Wendy, we never miss a meal, Jesse for all his great effort on being our guide and special thanks to Brent. All in all a great hunt. Had a great stay, will highly recommend it over and over.

Had an awesome experience hunting and spending time on your beautiful ranch. The quality of game and scenery were unlike anything I've seen elsewhere. I totally felt like part of the family during my stay, from the delicious home cooked meals to the 'make yourself at home' atmosphere. Jesse and Jay are very hardworking fellows and very professional. I hope to come back soon with my son and hunt for some red stags. I couldn't have dreamed of a better experience. Thanks a bunch.

Brent, finally back in the states. I wanted to thank you for the experience of New Zealand. The guys you have working for you especially Jesse are truly a great addition to the camp. The professionalism and patience they have are truly what makes a great hunt. Your mom did not help me loose any weight either! She is a great cook. I truly enjoyed spending the afternoon with your Dad! We had a great time together. Truly a great experience for me!!!!!

Had a hunting adventure, once in a life time. Enjoyed everything from hunt, guides and meals. Best red stags in the world. Expect Hamilton and I sometime in the future. Thanks for everything.

I had a hunt of a lifetime. I saw lots of exceptional game and a lot of fun along the way. Jay did a great job of getting me set up on my animals. Very professional. Thank you.

The best of the best!! Memories that will last a lifetime. Thank you for a wonderful trip, the hunting, camaraderie, food were all incredible. Many more will experience the great time I'm sure. Good luck for all you do and look forward to hunting with you again soon.

What an experience! Thank you so very much for your hospitality. We had such a wonderful trip and will forever remember all that you shared with us. We enjoyed your company, your stories, your food, your knowledge, your home. Sincerest thanks to you once again.

Dear Santa,
I don't need anything else for Christmas. I have had an excellent trip and seen more world class trophies than ever before. The Moody's have been the most gracious hosts and shown us the beautiful Island they call home. I hope to return for more trophies in the future. Thank you Moody's for a trip of a lifetime.
P.S. The elk here would make Rudolf tremble!

Thank you to the whole crew! You all made me feel so at home and must comment on the young men in your operation as they were happy and so respectful was a joy to spend the time. Please never loose sight of the wonderful, beautiful land you all live in so grand. The animals and operation are truly top notch and a great fit for this stage in my life. First time on this type of hunt and was past all of my expectations. Somewhere in the future I will make the trip back. Until then, thank you all!

You guys are such an amazing group of people! It was such an honor to get to know all of you. Thanks for the great hunt and Wendy thanks for the great eats!! We will miss you guys and see you as soon as possible.

Thank you, thank you to the Moody family. Brent, Adrian and Wendy. We came to New Zealand to see red stags and saw so much more than anticipated. LOTS of animals each day with a great hunt for 'the one'! Brent you're a wonderful guide and person, thank you so much for all your efforts. Adrian and Wendy your hospitality was wonderful. We certainly enjoyed our 5 days.

I can't thank you enough for such a wonderful hunt and vacation. Your property, operation and wildlife far surpass any expectations I had for any hunt. I felt like I was staying and hunting with old friends that I've known for a lifetime. The quality and quantity of animals on your ranch are second to none. You have a very special place here and a very special group of people. Thanks you so much for everything. I hate to leave this place and feel like I'm leaving friends behind. I hope to return with my daughters someday soon. I wish you the best until we meet again. I'll miss your cooking Wendy.
