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.
