New Zealand- Jerry Rex

I highly recommend Jim Duberowski and Hosted Hunts. First class in response, quality of outfitters and the assistance and follow-up are top notch. I could not have been happier from first contact, to helping make a decision, booking the hunt and the entire process. Jim was clear in his communication, helping me coordinate getting hunting clothes (we were on a vacation when a cancellation presented an opportunity). This hunt alone would have been the trip of a lifetime. Adding it near the end of an already extraordinary trip on the other side of the planet was icing on the cake. In terms of the hunting experience, 5 stars out of 5!  Very nice lodge and our room was spacious with access to the brand new deck. The meals were outstanding in terms of variety and quality of food. Craig and the team also made accommodation for my wife, who has dietary restrictions. She was also thrilled with the quality, preparation and variety Just Terrific! And the actual hunting- I couldn’t believe how many animals we saw, especially the large bachelor groups of red stag and fallow bucks. Our guide Jesse was not only knowledgeable, but hard-working, determined to find me the kind of trophy that I wanted. He was also fun and informative, but got down to business when opportunities presented themselves (or he created them). I couldn’t have been happier with my guide or the experience. These guys are first class and work very hard to help every client get the trophy of their dreams, feed them well and make sure they have fun and are comfortable doing it. This hunt and experience was everything we could have hoped for, everything that was expressed and then some, for my wife and myself. Her not being a hunter, yet not once opening her book is a testament to the lodge, the staff, and the owners.
