Guided Hunting & Adventures in New Zealand

Doddsy’s Hunting provides a premier New Zealand hunting experience. We have access to some of New Zealand’s best trophy hunting terrain and a world class hunting guide to help you explore the country.

​

We call it an ‘experience’ because there’s so much more to it than just a hunting trip, your adventure will include good old Kiwi family hospitality and an endless list of non-hunting activities. This is all made possible due to our location in Lake Hawea, only a short drive from the popular Lake Wanaka Resort and Queenstown, the bustling adventure capital of NZ.

​

Barry Dodds (Doddsy) has been hunting all of his life; he’s been a professional guide around the region for years and has also hunted throughout Australia and South Africa - so he knows a thing or two about stalking trophy animals.

​

To experience New Zealand hunting at its best, get in contact with Doddsy. He can take you on the trip of a lifetime, stalking the internationally famous red stag, or his favourite hunting prey – the Tahr. Both are in abundance right on the doorstep of his Hawea homestead.
