“My hunting trip with Roaring Forties Outfitting in New Zealand was nothing short of exceptional. From the moment I arrived, Tom's professionalism, knowledge, and passion for the outdoors was evident. Being a completely free range hunt it requires additional effort to gain access, a complete understanding of the hunting areas, back up plans for back up plans and scouting to ensure trophy quality it present. Tom was meticulous in planning and it resulted in a very successful trip.

We pursued red stag, tahr, and chamois in breathtaking terrain, and every aspect of the hunt was handled with safety, respect for the land and animals in a true free range setting. The accommodations were first-class, the meals were outstanding, and the entire experience was seamless from start to finish.

This wasn’t just a hunt – it was an adventure of a lifetime. I left with unforgettable memories, true trophies, and a deep appreciation for New Zealand’s wild beauty. I can’t recommend Tom highly enough – whether you're a seasoned hunter or planning your first international trip, you won’t find better.”
