The Real New Zealand Hunt<\/strong><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Sam Caley is a wild man who hunts wild country. If you want a true free-range hunt the way New Zealander locals experience it, Sam is your Man. Be prepared to work hard, stay in tents or Air B&Bs or old farmhouses, have loads of fun, and take some excellent animals by putting in the hard yards. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I come from France I’m a mountain hunter and my dream was to hunt the Tahr. Sam Caley helped me make that dream come true! Sam organized a fantastic hunting and tourism trip for me and my wife. Unforgettable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Father\u2013Son Hunting Done Right<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

We went on a father son NZ safari with Sam. We bagged 2 bull tahr. One very big. Also a nice fallow deer along with 3 chamois. I\u2019d recommend NZ Sam for your next international hunt. Great all around experience and hunt. Great way to see the S island of New Zealand. Cheers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Genuine Hunter You Can Trust<\/strong><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

After meeting Sam through a hunt swap website, we done a few hunts together in England, UK. A few later I went out to New Zealand to hunt Thar and Chamois and I can honestly say it was the trip of a lifetime. Sam stayed true to his word and I shot two excellent trophies. Although I shot these trophies early on into my 10 day trip, Sam made sure the remaining days were enjoyable also.

He is a genuine honest guy with a positive attitude, interesting stories and so much knowledge. I would always highly recommend Sam\u2019s hunting experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Trip Abroad Made Easy and Unforgettable<\/strong><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

My experience with Sam Caley Trophy Hunting was nothing short of incredible. The hunting itself was amazing \u2014 I was able to take some truly outstanding trophies \u2014 but what stood out most was hunting with Sam. It felt less like I was with a guide and more like I was hunting with a good friend.

The communication leading up to the trip was excellent, making the entire experience abroad seamless and stress-free. I can\u2019t wait to return to New Zealand and hunt with Sam again. It was truly the trip of a lifetime! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Perfect NZ Hunting Experience<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Our trip with Sam was truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience, and he did not disappoint\u2014actually, he went above and beyond. It was one of those rare trips that felt pretty much perfect. Even with our tight timeline, he managed to guide me to a beauty Tahr in the backcountry and my husband to a randy, free-range stag on the other side of the island.

If you want a real outfitter who knows his stuff and is passionate about what he does, book with Sam. What a trip you will have! I can’t wait to go back someday<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From Arrival to Departure: Outstanding<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Could not have enjoyed my time in NZ more with Sam. Was successful in hunting Tahr, Chamois, Stag and Fallow deer but more importantly Sam made the entire time from arrival to departure enjoyable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
