Another master class hunt by Chris McCarthy, second trip second 13 point stag. This stag was over 42 inches long with a Douglas Score of 300+. Absolute privilege to learn from the man. Gary Innis, Australia, April 2015.
My first trip to NZ. I have hunted for many years and guided many hunters and my tahr hunt has been among the best. The animals and the country have been beautiful, but the people have been the best. All I can say about Chris McCarthy is that it's a pleasure to step into the woods with the man. Chad Bedell, Steamboat, Colorado, USA.
