Just got back from an incredible trip to New Zealand. Beyond excited with the trip. This all started in 2019 at the DSC Convention. I talked to every New Zealand outfitter and called many references. I ended up booking with Shane Quinn with Alpine Hunting. I was suppose to go in 2021 and then COVID. So my trip was pushed to this year.
I fished with Johnny Gummer on the lodge's property. The fishing and hunting was outstanding. Liam Quinn was my guide and just an all around great guy. I took my bow and had multiple failed stalks. He was very patient and did not every push me to pick up a rifle.
The lodge was great and what an atmosphere. Everyone eats at the same table, hunters, staff, guides with Shane and his wife Nicki. Shane and Nicki took time to make us feel at home and the atmosphere was like we were family.
I can't say enough about Shane, Nicki and Liam. Just salt of the earth great people.
Hope to get back one day, but still smiling from this trip. This was definitely a bucket list trip for me.
