Nice work champ!

1st shot right in the shoulder and double lung. 👌 He was dead on his feet but adrenaline can have them get up and bolt, even on a broken leg.
It never hurts to double tap especially when the big boy looks to head for cover.

How’s that for a 2nd shot on the run???

Well done Jared…… 👏👏👏

“This doesn’t seem real”. Jason’s exact words as he places his hands on an animal until now he had only dreamed of hunting.

Everything seemed to just fall into place for this hunt. Beautiful weather, a number of awesome stags to cast our eye over, cracking shot placement and as luck would have it the stags antler managed to dig into the hillside anchoring him right on the edge of ATV access meaning no carry.

What a result and what an awesome example of a 400-450” NZ Red Stag.

Aussie, Aussie, Aussie.
Not all Aussies are as bad as us Kiwi’s make out and Ben is most certainly proof of this.

We sure maxed out our step count and patience on this one not to mention the hills we had to climb but what a result……. 365” of awesome on this bad boy!

Well done Ben.

Blown away by just how awesome these bad boys are.
Over 6ft wide (72”), tip to tip and 22pts.
What’s even cooler is these are cast antlers so this big boy is still running around and will grow even bigger this year.

So far our Tahr hunt hasn’t really gone to plan……..
Gale force winds put a stop to Plan A of flying in by heli to “Spot X”
Plan B was to camp and walk in hunt a couple of tight valleys but again the wind and then rain forced us to pack up and get out as rivers became too dangerous to cross and winds meant tenting would prove hopeless.
With flooding, road closures and snow storms forecast our hand was forced to activate Plan C. Get out quick to ensure we aren’t stuck. Down came the snow and with a truck coming off the road ahead of us we were left stuck and waiting to get through in Lindis Pass in the middle of a big snow dump. I must admit us “Aucklanders” weren’t too upset with the chance to get out and play in the snow while waiting for the truck to be pulled out and the snow ploughs to clear the way.
Plan D….. based in Wanaka and sinking a few bevies tonight, heading for a day hunt tomorrow then it’s to a bar to watch the “Wahs”

Wow, Wow, Wow! 2nd in the SCI world record books Bull Tahr.

A few Months ago I was lucky enough to be entrusted with the task of guiding our Belgium client @kurtparedis onto his first Bull Tahr…….. and by Bow. With the help of good mates @doddsy_nz and his dad Barry we put a plan together and set about tackling the challenge of taking a trophy Bull Tahr by bow on a walk-in 2x day hunt.

Turns out Kurt was more than up for the challenge bagging himself not just any old Bull Tahr but a Bull measuring just 3/8 inch off breaking the SCI world record. Coming in at 47 7/8” SCI (46 3/4DS for you Kiwis and Auzzies) and sitting 2nd in the world, it’s fair to say the whole team is over the moon with the result and to capture it all on film….. epic!

Well done @kurtparedis for achieving such an amazing result.
Massive thanks to our mates @doddsys_hunting for their help and @itch.nz for capturing it on vid and the photos.

Follow us on instagram, Facebook and now YouTube for more action and be sure to check out our website, link in bio.

Love ‘em or hate ‘em, those incredible brief encounters are all a part of hunting.
Whether you’re left gob-smacked or wooing the missed chance of that dream animal, it’s times like this that keep us coming back and fuel our desire.

Imagine this big boy gracing your wall!

Now the Trophy season has come to an end it’s onto a few meat hunts to keep numbers in check.
After knocking over a few young arapawa sheep it was onto the deer for our South African friends. 1x Fallow Doe and a couple of Red hinds had plus a goat busted in the native planting area had the Polaris bursting at the seams with prime organic meat ready for the bbq or “braai”.
Well done lads!

After having his hunting buddy not make it on the plane Andy wasn’t going to let that ruin his trip.
After spotting this big boy earlier in the day before losing sight of him when he spooked into thick cover Andy just knew he was the stag he came for. We continued to search high and low all day until setting up on a hill to watch an area we thought he frequented each evening. Turns out we were wrong as we heard a roar up valley with only 3/4hr light remaining and then caught a glimpse of him at around 800yrds. Up we jumped and made hast for his position putting in a stalk to 15yrds leaving Andy to take the last 3 to present a clear shot.

Nothing like the pressure of fading light to force you into a “speed stalk”😬

After an eventful morning of looking over a number of large Stags and fallow bucks we thought it best to stop for a bite of lunch and discuss the many options and potential stags under the shade of native canopy.

While enjoying the break I showed Jake a short vid of a 450” stag I filmed in the area a couple of weeks prior I thought he might like……. Well, I’m not sure I’ve ever seen someone jump to their feet so quick! Before I could even finish the video he had downed his lunch, had gun in hand, his pack on his back and was pacing in circles egging us to get cracking and help find it.
“As we get closer to the area stay high and hug the track and we should catch him out on the bush edge feeding” I suggested. “We’ll only get 1x chance though as if he spots us he’ll dive into the thick cover where he’ll stay for the rest of the day so stay on the track so we have a flat shooting position and take the 1st chance on offer”. Proof that it pays to have a guide with in-depth knowledge of the area and the individual stag’s habits and territories as sure enough, after a bit of a hike across to the far valley, right where I predicted he would be, stood this monster of a stag. As if I had written an actual script the stalk played out exactly to plan with Jake taking the opportunity at a tad under 200yrds.

@nate.stumpf, wife Bri and team with a brute of a Red Stag.
After 1st hearing him roar we got eyes on this stag as he charged through the thick stuff towards a smaller stag who foolishly replied serve. Spooking everything in his way he finally came to a stop in a clearing where Nate took his chance and sent one his way. Pumped up on testosterone and adrenaline he ate the 1st shot like it was nothing so a 2nd lead injection was sent his way also finding its mark with another nice shot. Man was this guy tough….. dead on his feet he still managed to take off down the steep gut and into thick cover where we eventually found him “crash landed” on the edge of a bog. Was a good thing we had plenty of man power to drag him up onto firm ground where the work began to cape him, butcher and carry him out.

Nate displayed some nice shooting, great patience a cool calm composure and a bit of hard work to eventually secure his awesome stag, everything we could really ask for in a hunt. Well deserved bud and looking forward to our next hunt together.

@mattgordon749 almost undoing all his good work carrying out his awesome sika stag. Good thing the ground was soft so the antlers didn’t snap off. 😬

Nice work champ!

WHITE was the colour of the day during a recent hunt with Stephen from the USA.

Dark antlers with white fur make for an epic contrast on what will be a beautiful mount.

What an epic stag taken by Chris after managing to thread the needle through thick cover from a decent downhill sloping position.
125yrds.
