Featured Testimonial

By Jeff Passmore

"Yes, book with Chris and Peg and spend as much time in New Zealand as your schedule permits. You will find Kiwis to be as friendly as anyone in Utah or Texas and they have the common courtesy of speaking English. The south island will blow you away with its natural beauty.

I hunted with Chris twice. First-time bid on and won a donated hunt. Bought it based on a Craig Bodington reference. I asked Craig if he had any thoughts about going with Chris and he said yes too. He said, “you will have a great time with Chris and Peg. You’re going up the mountain behind Chris for Tahr, shoot Chris in the leg, it’s the only way you’ll keep up."

For the serious trophy hunter

With Chris’s two decade’s of guiding experience around the South Pacific, he would have to be one of the most experienced and passionate professional all round hunting guides in the South pacific.

Chris as your guide has worked hard to maintain his professional standard by holding a National Certificate in Firearms Safety and Appreciation and also holding a National Certificate in Bush Safety and Appreciation and an up-to-date knowledge of comprehensive First Aid for your safety.

Testimonials

“What an awesome adventure. Not only do Chris and Peg provide a great hunting excursion as a client, ensuring you will leave with a quality trophy, but you are taken into their home and treated like family. They go above and beyond what would be expected to accomodate any desires, needs or disabilities you may have, adding such a personal touch to what could have been just another day at work for them. What a great way to experience New Zealand for the first time. You will not be disappointed. I certainly wasn’t.”

Thank you VERY much for such a wonderful time on our first, but not last, trip to your beautiful home. For me, it was a great holiday and for Daniel a successful “Mission” the two rarely come together.
