Words cannot describe my experience here in New Zealand with you.!! The hunting, hospitality, memories and friendships of gained are absolutely priceless. This was far and beyond any expectations I started with before arrival. That truly was, not just a hunt of a lifetime, but really an experience of a lifetime that I will cherish forever!! The “A Team” as I called it from day one, always got it done. I only hope your experience was as good as mine!! This adventure was world class!!

WOW! We had a remarkable time here with the entire monarch team. Thank you so much for a wonderful hunt. Luke you really made our hunt so much fun. The whole team is great. Thanks Bec for a fun time.


Probably the best outfitted hunt I have ever been on. Beautiful lodge and property. The guides were top notch and extremely professional. The food was excellent and everybody in the organization was a pleasure to deal with. They all went above and beyond to make sure we had a great time.

“What an experience! Luke’s knowledge of the station we hunted and his consummate skills as a guide made for fantastic hunting.  We saw lots of game and two spectacular stags, one of which became mine. Thanks Luke and the Monarch staff for making my hunt of a lifetime happen. We will do this again!”

Whether it was trophy hunting or meat harvesting, going hunting with Luke was a great time and really successful too. And the locations that Monarch takes you too were some of the best landscapes in New Zealand!!!! Our hunting adventure was a real experience in such a beautiful part of the world.
