First time hunting with Shaun Monk
2 days, 2 nights
For many kiwi people, hunting is a way of life. It’s all about being out in the hills, facing the elements of nature, walking the hard yards to test yourself against cunning game animals with the hope of gathering your own free-range meat and re-telling the tales around a campfire.
Now you can have this experience too!
Your hunting coach, Shaun Monk, has lived the hunter’s lifestyle since childhood and will show you how to get into “the game zone” and bring the meat back to camp.
This hunting trip is fully guided and includes four-wheel driving, hut stay, camping, hiking, bush craft, mountain safety and firearms practice. You don’t need a firearms license or any previous experience. You just have to be willing to walk some hills and become part of nature.
