More than a hunt

Roaring Forties Outfitting was built on a simple idea—to share the kind of hunting that stays with you for life.

Meet Your Guide

Tom McKay was brought up hunting from a young age and has spent the past 15 years exploring New Zealand’s rugged wilderness.

Catching the bug early, his passion for hunting and discovering the wild landscapes of New Zealand, and the unique critters they host, has led to countless breathtaking and rewarding adventures. Adventures he believes are meant to be shared.

Working in the guiding industry has also created opportunities to meet like-minded people from around the world, something Tom values deeply. There’s nothing quite like heading into the backcountry with new people, working hard toward a shared goal, and experiencing the reward of a successful hunt together.

International Experience

When the New Zealand season ends, Tom travels to Canada to guide bighorn sheep hunts in the Northern Rockies of Alberta.
