It’s always a trip of a lifetime with Mike and Maddie. Truly amazing scenery and first-class hunting. I would definietly recommend Real Kiwi Hunting to anyone wanting to hunt in New Zealand. Mike and Maddie go above and beyond for their hunters. The experience was excellent - hard to imagine it being any better than harvesting a 15” + bull tahr.

I had a fantastic hunting experience with Mike, Maddie, and the team from Real Kiwi Hunting. Their hunting areas are first rate; a true free-range challenge, but with the game management to ensure exceptional trophy quality. I have hunted in four countries now with numerous outfits, and Mike is without doubt one of the fittest and most capable guides I’ve had the pleasure of hunting with. Yet he still hunted at my pace, with patience and encouragement to find beautiful mature trophies.

Tim Blackwell - South Australia

We travel all over the world and hunt in addition to being an outfitter ourselves. We have never seen a better hunter than Mike or a better partnership. Mike and Maddie run a top-quality operation and most importantly they live to hunt! We always recommend Real Kiwi Hunting when someone is looking for a true New Zealand adventure.

Kelly & Forest Keith - Colorado, USA

I have been lucky enough to hunt with Mike and Maddie twice for free-range red deer in the South Island of New Zealand and once for free-range fallow deer in South Australia. All of these experiences have been amazing. The hunts are second to none, a true free-range ethical experience. The time off the mountains were just as enjoyable - full of laughs and good food. They are a great team and I look forward too many more experiences with them.
