Over the last 45 years, I've hunted with at least 50 different guides and outfitters, and not a one outshined Tim & Vanessa Buma when it comes to making their guests feel welcome and providing exactly what they advertise.
The lodge, though modest in size and appearance, was quite comfortable. My hunting partner and I never lacked for anything we needed during our stay. And if we asked for something, we got it.
Like the accommodations, the hunting was also top-notch. With a variety of game available to us, we were able to pick and choose our quarry for the seven days we spent on the south island of New Zealand. My companion and I each shot a trophy tahr, red deer stag, two NZ bronze turkeys and various other critters from possums and hares to wallaby and waterfowl. I also garnered a nice chamois buck.
On a scale of 1 to 10, New Zealand Back Country Outfitters gets a 12!
