Fish in a Barrel
Let me preface this review by stating our flight was 8 hours late and then my bow did not arrive. I purchased this hunt at a QDMA banquet and was under the impression I was chasing free range stag as the general manager from Poronui was at the banquet. I borrowed the guides rifle due to the fact my bow did not make the trip. So, when we pulled up to a gate the first morning and I told the guide I was on the free range hunt and his reply was, "We don't have any free range stag here", I was not thrilled. An hour later, I shot a stag at 60 yards. The entire time we were there getting the deer out, a 400 inch red stag lie at 80 yards watching us. The next day my bow arrived and I elected to chase free range Sika. I soon found out that my guide had never bow hunted a day in his life and they knew I was coming to archery hunt. It was exciting chasing them and the numbers and quality were good. This is a high end lodge but not my cup of tea.
