Have a chat to Erwin at Krieghoff UK. Great guy, font of knowledge on them.

I really enjoyed my hunt with him and couldn’t have asked for a better first big game experience. I’m still waiting for mine to be mounted.. the skin is in the pickle at the moment.

Superb. Wonderful looking mounts. I'm guessing you hunted with Simon Kyle-Little? I hunted September 2023 and had a blast.

I’m a Brit who emigrated to the South Island of NZ nearly 9 years ago now… moved with two kids and a wife. I’m also an ex Rural MRICS.. more then happy to have a chat to you. Simply love it down here.. I live between Invercargill and Lake Hāwea based around my wife’s work. Privately educate one...

Congratulations mate

Tahr hunting (maybe a six hour drive from home) in the South Island of New Zealand... Was working down a shitty ridgeline to take a beautiful summer coat chammy buck.. and thats about the last thing i can remember for a year and a half... I'm told I had a big fall (20m vertical) and a lot of...

Thank you. Super excited. It will be a fair bit warmer than either Invercargill or Wanaka which i live and work between! Banteng last year was 35-38C and pretty humid. Could do 20km days quite well and carried my own water for that. Very very excited.

Thank you. Dande north I believe with either Dave or Dean guiding. With work commitments I can’t get there until mid October - so I suspect the heat will be similar to last years banteng hunt

Great to hear a fellow kiwi had a good trip there. I booked there for my first Africa trip in 2026
