Aloha Brent & Ohana,
You have fulfilled a lifelong dream of mine. That’s to hunt Red Stag during the rut. It has surpassed any and all expectations I’ve ever had. You and your Ohana’s hospitality to me and Gary during our stay was awesome! It was such a life changing experience for us that words can’t explain. Mahalo for taking us to the coast and up to the cell tower to get epic pics etc. We will definitely be back and can’t wait to hunt with you again.

To my new friends:
I now know what Dorothy must have felt when she landed in the land of Oz, only this time it’s the real deal, a dream come true. The abundance of beautiful and trophy quality animals was almost overwhelming. Accommodations was above expectations, private lodging, your own bar and dining area, peaceful non commercial setting, so if you’re into the large crowds and hussle bustle this isn’t the place for you. Brent and his folks, Adrian and Wendy, are as nice as they come. Thank you all for the hunt of my life, you can be sure, I’ll be back.

This trip was everything and more than we expected it to be. All the patience and assistance for this non-hunter was appreciated. All meals were delicious, accommodations were perfect and Brent - your professional guidance is exceptional.

What a wonderful place. Majestic is the word that best describes this place. From the scenery to the animals to the people. Its a magical place. Brent is an awesome guide, never an issue with finding something to look at. The knowledge he brings to your hunt is unsurpassed. The added touch with video taping the hunt allows to bring the excitement home with you - that is a first class touch. Michael Cunningham, TX

I have been in this beautiful country for 2 weeks, from the varied beauty of the Island here to the majestic Southern Alps where I shot Tahr and Chamois. The country varies from interesting to awe inspiring. I met many people, some quite colorful, all friendly and a pleasure to associate with. From Wendy, Adrian, Brent and Chris, you are in very capable hands that are great to be around! The animals are of a very high quality whether hunting huge estate stags, record book sika, great free range stags, big fallow buck to a side excursion to cull goats and shoot a huge boar hog to finishing up with a deep sea fishing adventure with Lee and a little party with the neighbors, you can't go wrong with this team!!! I will be back!!! Greg Morris, MI

Everything about the operation exceeded our expectations. Accommodations in a beautifully redone ranch house, great meals with the Moody family, and a property covered in an abundance of Red Deer, Fallow, Rusa, sheep, goats, etc. Always something to look at. We took 2 stags, 394 7/8” and 388 5/8”. My buddy took his with a bow at 38 yards, fully filmed by Brent! If you are looking for a great hunt, with a variety of terrain for those that want the steep/deep or more sedate surroundings, Mountain Hunters New Zealand is THE PLACE.

Brent,

The trip was more fun than I could have imagined! You always hope that your hunting trip will go well. You hope the area you hunt will be scenic and that you'll see lots of animals. You hope your accommodations will be adequate and the meals will be appetizing. And most of all, for me, you hope your hosts/guides will be fun and knowledgeable. You blew my expectations away! I've never been on a better all-around trip.

All of your hunting areas are excellent. Glenburn Station is an unbelievable free-range area. I never expected to see so many deer in a wild area. The bach reminds me of deer camp back home. Not luxurious, but a great place to hang out and have a few cold ones. It had everything we needed and was very comfortable. And game steak on the Georgy!

The game ranch accommodations were outstanding. Hot home-cooked meals, TV and a hot tub. It doesn't get any better than that! I appreciate the hospitality. You guys made us feel like part of the family. Oh, by the way, the trophy hunting was outstanding.

The Tahr hunting part of the trip was equal to the experience at the game ranch. First class accommodations, excellent meals and over-the-top hospitality. I was amazed at how many tahr we saw. I'm almost more proud of my tahr than the huge red stag. They are a beautiful animal and challenging to hunt.

Each part of the trip was special, and all together it made for one of my best experiences in life. You guys have great hunting areas with lots of opportunity and you do a great job at all the little things that make a trip unforgettable.

Thanks again!
