“Had a wonderful hunt with Sandy and Karl. We hunted tahr and chamois. Sandy and Karl are first class hosts and hunters. I have hunted all North American sheep and goats so wanted to try something different. Both these hunts were just as majestic as hunting any North American sheep or goat.
I think a lot of people worry about the long travel but it’s not bad at all. We went to sleep on the plane and woke up in NZ. The accommodation was first class, and the hunting terrain was amazing. I would highly recommend booking with Sandy and Karl while you can because I know they will continue to grow and be successful in their outfitting ventures. I plan on going back soon and hunting stag next and am looking forward to it. If you’re looking for a change of pace or something new, you need to book with these guys fast.”

“Hunting New Zealand has always been a dream of mine. A true free range, mountain hunting experience in the backcountry of New Zealand. I hesitated for a few years and finally pulled the trigger in March 2026. I can honestly say Sandy and Karl at NZ Wilderness Hunts exceeded my expectations, and it has been an unforgettable trip. The professionalism and amount of effort these guys put into getting you on old trophy stags, bucks and bulls is next level. I would say they are one of very few outfitters who will give you a 100% free range hunting experience and show you the side of New Zealand that few get to see. Highly recommend if you are considering a NZ hunt give these guys a call and book the trip. You won't regret it - I'll be back.”

“I went to New Zealand looking for a wild and 100% free range hunt for Stag, Chamois & Tahr and after 11 days of hunting I experienced one of the best hunts of my life. We hunted and camped in rugged wild places with breath taking scenery, seeing wildlife every day. Sandy and Karl are top notch guides who know where to find game and were very detail-oriented throughout the hunt, providing great service. We got all 3 species which was the cherry on top for an unforgettable adventure. If you are looking for an authentic free range hunt in wild places with professional and agreeable guys, please contact NZ Wilderness hunt.”

"I had an exceptional time with NZ Wilderness Hunts. We were able to take very mature tahr, stag and fallow. I appreciated their focus on age and quality experience - it is rare to find an outfitter with the combined drive to be successful, as well as maintain age and herd stability. Having been a western US hunting guide, I can confidently say that Karl and Sandy are at the top of their game, exceptional hunters and fun to hunt with. The several areas we hunted were beautiful, each unique. Without reservation I'd recommend them for a real New Zealand experience."
