About Outback Hunting

You want a guided hunt in New Zealand you can trust. You want real backcountry, clear communication and a guide who knows how to get results. We have guided hunters across the South Island for more than 30 years, with experience built from growing up in the hills and hunting these animals long before guiding became a business. That depth shows in how we read the seasons, understand the terrain and know the behaviour of every species we hunt. We guide for tahr, red stag, fallow deer, chamois, wallabies and pigs, using proven locations across private blocks and public land we know inside out.

You get an honest and well planned hunting experience. You know what to expect, how the hunt will run and what the plan looks like from day one. Safety sits at the centre of everything we do, with careful risk management from the moment you arrive. Your hunt feels organised, confident and focused on giving you the best possible chance at success. Many hunters return year after year, with relationships built on preparation, scouting, quality gear and attention to detail.

Your hunt is built around your goals. You choose the species and the pace, and we put a clear plan in place to make it happen. You get more than a photo. You get a proper New Zealand guided hunt, run the right way, by people who take pride in the work behind every trip. What will your next hunt be?

  • Owner and Hunting Guide

    I grew up on a deer farm on the rugged West Coast of New Zealand's South Island. From a young age, I was out hunting small game, and as soon as I was strong enough to carry a pack and rifle, I began pursuing all the big game New Zealand has to offer.

    Over the past 30 years, I've hunted deep into the South Island's wilderness, creating unforgettable memories for myself and for clients. I've also hunted abroad in Australia and South Africa, expanding my experience in the field. Hunting is more than a hobby, it's a way of life, and I'm proud to now share that with others through Outback Hunting.

    Outback Hunting continues to provide top quality hunts for past and new clients.
