Hunting Chamois and Stag in New Zealand with Gary Herbert was one of the most enjoyable mountain hunts I've had. The experience with Gary, the friendship, the true hunting in spectacular mountains is something that I'll never forget.

I have been to New Zealand 4 times to hunt Waterfowl with Gary Herbert. He runs a very well organised operation and has very talented people working with him.

My hunt in New Zealand with Gary Herbert would have to be one of the most exciting and enjoyable hunts I've ever been on. In 10 days I harvested a Gold Medal Stag, 3 Tahr, 2 Chamois, 1 Fallow and a Wild Boar. You won't find a better Professional Hunter than Gary Herbert in New Zealand.

Hunting in New Zealand is the most exciting new adventure I've found anywhere in the world. We hunted Tahr, Stag, Chamois and Waterfowl with Gary Herbert's hunting company and we all came away with great trophies. I brought 5 of my most valued clients to hunt with Gary and they were all thrilled with the quality of the hunt, guides, accommodation and the whole New Zealand experience.

I've hunted 5 times with Gary Herbert's hunting outfit. I enjoy the challenge of hunting New Zealand because of its rugged and spectacular mountains. That's one of the reasons I keep going back. If you are looking at hunting in New Zealand, I guarantee you won't be disappointed with Gary Herbert's outfit.

My husband Bob and myself have hunted New Zealand twice with Gary Herbert. Words can not express how I felt after shooting my first Tahr. It was with out any doubt the most exciting and exhilarating hunting experience I've had.

Our New Zealand hunt with Gary Herbert's hunting company was a ''hunt of a life time''. We harvested all the animals we had booked, and some. The accommodations, food and most of all, the guides were of the highest quality. A truly fantastic hunt.

I've had the opportunity to hunt with Gary Herbert and New Zealand Hunting Limited twice. On my first hunt I took a Tahr, Stag and Ram and on my second hunt another Stag, Chamois and Fallow. All my animals qualified for the SCI record book. Gary's guides are very knowledgeable and they work well as a team. On my second trip down to New Zealand, three of my friends came with me to hunt Waterfowl. They all agreed it was some of the finest bird hunting they had experienced anywhere in the world.
Dale Martin, Aurora, Colorado
Myself, my son, and 3 of our friends hunted New Zealand with New Zealand Mountain Hunting Limited. Gary and his guides gave us a hunting experience that we'll never forget. We hunted in 3 different areas and game was abundant in all of them. The lodges, meals and people in general were fantastic. Everyone needs to experience a New Zealand hunting adventure.
Bill Schulze, Westcliff, Colorado
I've hunted with Gary Herbert on 2 different Safaris, taking most of the New Zealand species. Gary knows his areas and animals exceptionally well and would have to be one of the most well organised and personable outfitters that I've hunted with.
Darryl Hastings, Rochester, Michigan
My wife, two sons, and I had the great pleasure of hunting New Zealand with Gary Herbert. We were so impressed with the entire experience, we've rebooked with Gary. I have hunted on four continents and have never been with an outfitter that works as hard not only to obtain good trophies, but to make the whole hunting experience as enjoyable as Gary and his guides did.
Bill Freed, Salt Lake City, Utah
On arriving at Gary's lodge we were all overwhelmed by the magnificent English type gardens. I was in New Zealand with my husband Dale and 3 other couples. While the guys were hunting myself and the other 3 ladies in our group went on a tour of the South Island with Gary's tour guide Janet. We went bungy jumping, jet boat riding, took a helicopter ride to the top of a Glacier, visited a sheep station where they were shearing the sheep and spent a considerable amount of time in the wine country tasting the best New Zealand wines. We stayed mainly in bed and breakfasts while touring and we saw a lot of New Zealand that the average tourist doesn't see. It was a fabulous 5 days and I recommend it to everybody.
