I have always wanted to hunt New Zealand but never really knew where to start. I had talked to a few places at some local hunting shows but nothing I felt comfortable with booking. Upon searching online I came across New Zealand Trophy Hunting and after a couple messages and phone calls knew it was the one. Joy was very informative and up on getting everything organized. Tim was an awesome guide and very knowledgeable of the animals and hunting area. Tim was able to put me on some very nice animals. Joy and Tim are an awesome team and New Zealand Trophy Hunting is in great hands. Im not sure who enjoyed the hunt more Tim or myself which speaks volumes for a guide to me. I cant wait to return for fallow and tahr.

The trip had to end

Assume hunt, From the first contact with Joy to getting dropped off by Tim. They were both amazing people. Hunting out of the tin shack at the foothills and chasing tahr was on my bucket list for years. The service they provided were second to none! We saw lots of animals and both my hunting partner and I were successful in our hunt. Thanks Joy and Tim – We will be back!

Really there was nothing that sticks out that was not fun or enjoyable! Airlines lost my hunting gear on the way out there but Joy took the time with the airline and we had it on the next flight which only delayed us 2 hours and no hunting time.

The free range Tahr hunt in the southern Alps was the full experience I was looking for. Accommodations were excellent from the alpine cabin in the mountains to the lodge for the fallow deer hunt. Tim, my guide was knowledgeable, and took care of everything. Food was great, scenery was great! Lots of animals in the valley we hunted.

No complaints

Booking was an absolute breeze thanks to Joy & Tim was super accommodating for my hunt. Anything and everything I wanted to tackle in my 4 day hunt was taken care of and more! I’ve never had so much fun in my life. As a Canadian using thermal gear and spotlights was really cool and I couldn’t get enough we hunted day and night, Tim had top of the line equipment ensuring no target was walking away. My hunt was jammed pack with action with a ram, goats/wallabys/deer/hares/possums/boars. I can’t wait to come back for years to come.

My face hurts from smiling from smiling the whole time during the hunt/stay with New Zealand Trophy Hunting.

What can I say? We had an unforgettable trip made possible by great mangagement from Carla and world class guiding by Tim. The scenery, the wildlife, the hunting, everything was top of the line! Carla were responsive from day one, and nothing is impossible for this lady. Very flexible, kind and foremost keen on setting up a trip of a lifetime for you! Tim. Where do I start? I been hunting 14 different countries and been through alot of guides, both good ones and not so good ones. But Tim has stod out, I can honestly say that he shares the top position together with Mark Comins from Chumlet Safaris (South Africa). Absolutely nothing is impossible for this guy, he walk all the extra miles to make sure youre having a blast. He is what I would call a true hunter, with ethics, knowledge and passion for the game. We will definetly come back as soon as possible to New Zealand and hunt with New Zealand Trophy Hunting again, and I would recommend anyone to also do so! Greetings from Sweden, Calle and Kjell

Had to go home.
