Spectacular! Owen made the hunt so enjoyable. We had an excellent adventure with a successful hunt for a Red Stag and Bull Tahr. Owen showed an excitement and was so kind and patient. Bre’s meals were great, and we looked forward to it every day. Hudson was a great bonus. We highly recommend The Hype of the Hunt. Already looking forward to returning.

This was our second hunt with Owen, both times were incredible. The views and animals are always breath taking,

Owen does a fantastic job as an outfitter. He always ensures we take home the best animals New Zealand has to offer. We look forward to future hunts. Thank You!
