Lots of game even though we were at the end of their stag season. Great for archery or rifle hunters. Additional trophies of many species available.

Trip of a lifetime
The accommodation were great. They cooked our game that was harvested in to a fantastic meals. Selections of species was everything they advertise. Brent and his crew were very flexible to what we wanted. Top notch outfitter. We are returning in April of 2019!
I didn't like that we ran out of time!!
High adventure with genuine people.
I respect their honesty and hard work ethic - something rare these days to encounter on international hunts.

New Zealand Hunt with Brent Moody
Brent Moody was very personable, easy to work with on dates, answered questions about the hunt, gear and baggage, weather, getting through customs and worked with me on my gluten free diet. Brent took care of all arrangements from airline tickets, bus schedule, train transportation, and kept me informed of any changes. All of this was very important to me as I was travelling by myself. The hunt itself was beyond my expectations. I had wanted to hunt for red stag for some time when I found this hunt. I told Brent that I was not a trophy hunter that I was looking more for a nice animal, an experience of hunting in NZ and seeing the country side and just listening to the sounds of the different animals and birds. It was amazing. After walking some distance we sat on a ridge and glassed. After Brent retrieved the quad I asked if I could get a fallow deer; that fallow buck I had been watching. So we did. What a kick. My red stag was spotted in the evening that same day. We watched him cross a ridge top and disappear. Suddenly he came up and over settling in to eat 110 yards away. Brent had me place my legs in the ditch of the trail and shoot prone from his pack. My up hill shot hit the mark and the stag came tumbling down. He did not know we were even there. I was able to help Brent with dressing him out and skinning. I went with Brent to boil the skulls. That kid is very thorough. He helped me save money by placing the (cut in half) antlers in a huge duffle bag to put on the airline as baggage. All paperwork was completed and I was able to get through customs; no problem. Hides were sent later. After the hunt I was taken on a hike with Brent's Mom, Wendy. Spent one day delivering meat to customers with her and meeting locals. Brent's Mom and Dad, Wendy and Adrian had me out playing "ranch girl" helping them push hinds from one pasture to another. Was very interesting seeing first hand how the ranch works raising these animals. There was no shortage of animals to look at and listen to as we rode the quad from one area to another. I felt comfortable and safe and the food was excellent. Very gracious people. I highly recommend this outfitter. Jill

As advertised
I hunt all the time and all over the world, all I ask is that the hunts are as advertised. Unfortunately this is usually not the case and because of many disappointing hunts I have become very skeptical to say the least. Now for the complete other side of the coin, I recently booked and completed a hunt with this outfitter, it would have to be one of, if not the best hunt I have been on. It is very simple, Brent, Adrian and Wendy provided what they said they would. A beautiful, comfortable, place to stay, delicious home cooked food, spectacular country, magnificent game everywhere. This review is coming from a bowhunter with 19 hunts abroad and probably at least 30 supposedly hunts of a lifetime in the states. A hunt with these people is most definitely worth the time and money. This hunt and these people perform as advertised.
Absolutely Incredible
Mntn Hunters Outfitters had a large amount of good quality animals to choose from. Josh, our guide, was informative, diligent in finding the right game when they were elusive and an all-around good guy. The Moody's were gracious hosts that kept us well fed with delicious food and entertainment. Wendy was a wealth of information about the area and was the guide to various sites.
Cyclone Cook hampered the activities a little.

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.

Outstanding adventure
It was an amazing adventure. They made us feel like we were at home with the hospitality they showed. With them being a family outfit, it suited my needs with having my son join in on the hunt. They welcomed him in with open arms. The hunt exceeded all my expectation. I recommend them highly.
Great place to hunt stags and fallow deer.
Game quality was excellent, the accommodations were nice, the family and staff were very nice.
Having to leave!
£ loathing you hangers seen before
I loved everything involving mountain hunters. The food, the lodging, the knowledge, the hospitality, the animals and the experienced were beyond compare. Once inn a lifetime experience. Especially, during " The ROAR.

Top quality animals, great accommodations, skilled, friendly guides.
They work very hard to make sure your hunt is a quality dream hunt and you are happy with the animal you take.
Bucket list hunt, ×10
Everything; from beginning to end! Extremely cordial, and selling to help with whatever you need! He drove 4 hours to pick me up, when i missed my last flight!
leaving!
One experience for a life time
Excellent hunting experience
Brent Moody and his family were perfect hosts. Loved the interaction with the family. We hunted both islands. Particularly enjoyed the coastal region free range stag hunt, though we weren't quite prepared for the rain and mud which predominates the region. We happened to have exclusivity during the hunt, which made the experience all the more better. They delivered all the bells and whistles of the more expensive outfitters at a fraction of the costs. "Mum's" venison pizza was simply outstanding! The accomodations at the farm were very comfortable, as were the accomodations on the South Island for our tahr hunt. The cabin on the coast is a bit more rustic, but definitely had its charm. And, most importantly, we got what we came for -- a gold medal stag, a bronze stag (for my son) and a nice tahr!
If you are going to hunt New Zealand, you need to be prepared for incliment weather. The boots I wore in Colorado don't work so well there. I would recommend a boot with a high rubber band around the soles. Also, New Zealand is a bit deceiving -- it takes a lot longer to get from point A to point B than you would expect from simply looking at the map. Be sure to alot sufficient time for cross-country travel (which fortunately we did). I have nothing bad to say about the outfitter. They were terrific.
Bucket list check off
I went there as a bucket list checkoff - It was great, Brent and his family and guides were the best - Before I left I knew I would be back - One of the best hunts I have done. Thanks to Brent and his group!
I really cannot think of anything I did not enjoy, even the long flight went well.
A dream hunt
Hunting with Brent and his crew was beyond amazing. They were professional and were willing to put in the work to make sure their clients had successful hunts.
NZ hunt
Great accommodations. Wonderful hospitality and exceptional game.
Long trip getting there.
I had a wonderful time in New Zealand. Everything was great!
Everything
Hunting with Brent
The hunt was beyond my expectation. We could find a lot of species, red deer, fellow deer, rusa deer, rabbit, goats and ram in their mountain field. Brent taught me how to find and distinguish them by binoculars. I cannot forget my exciting moment of sneaking up behind our target and pull the trigger. All meals were also special and made me full stomach every time . One morning, Brent and I shot a turkey and we ate that in diner. The words is not enough to explain the wonderful taste. I would like to express my gratitude to Brent and Adrian. I could enjoy the difference of two cultures.They made my first time of New Zealand really special. Mata itsuka. (See you again someday)
Excellent hunting experience
Very professional, everything from meals and accommodations to the hunting experience was top notch.
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!!
nothing
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.
