We wanted to drop you a note and say thanks to everyone for a wonderful trip.  You were all very gracious and we enjoyed the time we shared with everyone.  My hats off to Shane for a first class operation.  We will always have fond memories of New Zealand.  May God bless all of you!

I have been on several hunting adventures including South Africa twice and I know this one tops them all!  The hunting was excellent, the food was the best we have every had on a hunting adventure or any other adventure, and the service was SUPER!!!!!  The Guide (David) did a great job as we hunted in rain and cold.  My wife Joan went with me each day and David alway made sure she was safe and comfortable.  The experience will never be forgotten.  Your operation is beyond any I have visted.  Have anyone call Joan and I for a recommendation.

Now that we’re back and settled a bit I wanted to drop you a note and tell you we had another great time! Your Outfit is top of the line and I will be a hunting partner to Alpine Hunting Adventures for life. Great people, great atmosphere, and great animals! Denise and I really enjoyed David and will look forward to hunting with him again in 2010. Sincerely,

There are so many to say 'thanks' to!  Shane you certainly have established a top-notch outfit that offers 5-star everything!  From trophies to accommodations to food to guides, you have all the bases covered.  The only thing that you cannot control is the weather and while we were on the North Island the weather was cool but OK.  You do offer a perfect setting for the wife who likes to come but not hunt - I do not hunt but loved the fact that Chris would put up with me along for the hunting days.  Thanks for all you and the staff did to make our experience a success.  Jo and Lindsey - thanks for the delicious food!  Ann and Lindsey - thanks for the recipes!  Thanks again - it was a wonderful trip!

Now that we have been home for over a week and can really reflect back on our hunt with you, we realize it was one of the best.  Everything was first class!  The lodge, the equipment, the food, the quality of the animals, were all outstanding, but it was you and your staff who really made the trip.  You have put together a great bunch of people.  All of my animals are great, but my Red Stag is truly outstanding.  Chris is a great guide and we really enjoyed his company and expertise.  The possum hunt was great fun and the 'frosting on the cake" especially for Maryanne.  It was truly a wonderful trip!

We all had a great experience at Alpine Hunting.  I expecially enjoyed hunting with Bruce again.  He's the best guide I've ever had, and I've had some good ones, expecially in Alaska.  He's not only a great guide but also a tremendous representatvie for your operation.  I know I don't need to stress to you how much of an asset he is!  Finding the game is most of the challenge and his ability to know where and how to look was nothing short of fantastic.  I couldn't have hoped for the hunt to play out any more perfectly, especially in view of the animals I took.  Ths stag and sambar were fantastic!  And I was very pleased with the others also.

We just wanted to let you know that we are back home in Denmark and want to say a big thank you for a fantastic week of hunting at Alpine Hunting.  It was a perfect week together with all of you.  Special thanks to Colin for being really nice company and for getting us such a great hunting experience and trophies during the week.  All the best and many thanks to Shane for a lifetime experience at your amazing hunting areas both in the North and in the South.  The 24 hours we had hunting Tahr and Chamois in the mountains was an adventure that we will never forget.  And to you Ann for making everythings so well planned for us and having to answer all our many emails during the past year and a half - thank you so much - we couldn't have done it without you!  Will you give our best regards to all the rest of the staff - it was really nice meeting them all - you have a fantastic crew.

Just a note to let you know how much we enjoyed our hunting experience with you at Alpine Hunting!  Tom was thrilled with the animals he took.  Mike was wonderful, he was an excellent PH  for Tom and didn't seem to mind me tripping along with the two of them.  I really enjoyed the beautiful views, the crazy up and down curvy rides, and the history lessons from Mike! Hi to everyone there and thanks again for everything, we had a great trip!

Having arrived back home safe and sound, I just wanted to let you know how much I appreciated the interest you and the entire Alpine Hunting lodge family showed in making this a most memorable hunting experience for me.  From the gourmet meals prepared by Jo and Lindsey, the comfortable accommodations, the oversight by Ann and the relaxing, fun camraderie to the friendly, highly professional pilots and game knowledgeable guides.  I already miss the fun hours spent with 'Mossy' and my wife sends a special thanks to both you and him for my safe return.  My, what a rush the Chamois and Tahr hunt was!!
