Hunting has always been a special part of Mark's life. Growing up on a farm in the central North Island gave him great access to some of the best hunting country New Zealand has to offer. As a youngster Mark used possum trapping and goat capture to supplement his income, and hone his bushcraft. The experience gained from a tally of over a thousand wild pigs, and a life time's deer stalking, makes Mark a skilled, instinctive hunter.

These days he gets as much pleasure assisting others hunt their trophy game as organizing his own trips. It's tracking, the thrill of the chase, and the companionship of other hunters, which are the real attractions of hunting for Mark.

Mark has hunted extensively throughout New Zealand. As well as pursuing deer and pigs in the rugged North Island bush, Mark also delights in hunting the Tahr and Chamois in the South Island peaks. With a track record of organizing successful and entertaining hunting trips in a variety of locations, he has the knowledge and experience to ensure that his companions capture their trophies, and challenge themselves.

Known by his friends and clients, as a modest, very capable, and entertaining companion, Mark believes hunting is about capturing the trophy and great company. If you are ready to enjoy yourself, he'll make sure you have a great time.

Mark is a member of NZ Professional Hunting Guides, the Waitomo Search and Rescue team, and SCI International.

An essential part of any great adventure is the hospitality you enjoy. This is where Felicity comes into her own.

Felicity loves entertaining. She was born into the New Zealand farming custom of always having fresh, home made food ready for visitors and cooking for sheep shearers. Hospitality is as natural for Felicity as tracking trophy game is for Mark.

Felicity’s repertoire includes a range of exciting, delightful dishes to suit all tastes, often using vegetables, herbs and fruit from her garden.

Growing up on a New Zealand farm also gave Felicity a love of the outdoors. Walking is another favourite pastime for her. You’ll often see her and Maunga, the family’s Jack Russell dog, out on the walking the hills. With camera in hand, she enjoys the quiet of the bush and capturing stags on film.

Well traveled, and educated at the University of Manchester (England), Felicity understands what it is like to be a tourist. Travelling, for her, is about enjoying local lifestyles, food and wine, and discovering local points of interest.

Using this as a guide, Felicity ensures that Ranginui guests feel comfortable, and experience the best that New Zealand rural life has to offer, while obtaining their trophies. She believes that Waitomo is a beautiful, untouched part of New Zealand where you can really relax and unwind. She invites you to come and experience it with us.
