Free Range Hunting NZ
After spending an incredible week hunting with Ollie at Free Range Hunting New Zealand, I can genuinely say it was one of the most exciting hunting experiences I’ve had in a long time. Our main goal was to find a beautiful free-range fallow buck, and along the way, we ended up on a bunch of thrilling side quests that made the entire adventure unforgettable.
The coastal terrain was rugged, and full of life — the perfect backdrop for a proper New Zealand hunt. Ollie’s setup is relaxed, ethical, and built around real adventure. It’s not a high-fence or production-line experience — it’s authentic hunting, guided by someone who lives and breathes it.
Whether you’re chasing your first free-range fallow or just want to experience a uniquely wild part of New Zealand, I highly recommend this operation. I only list outfitters I’ve personally hunted with and believe in — and this one definitely earns its spot.
This outfitter represents what true adventure hunting is all about — rugged country, honest effort, and real wild game. I’ve teamed up with them because I know they deliver the kind of experience I can stand behind.
