I am greatly disappointed because I thought NZ would be less expensive and I was really looking forward to a hunting trip here in 2017 for the roar.

In answer to the question posed in your headline obviously the answer is yes, because that's what they advertise and that's what people pay for four 400 plus stags and four tahr.
This is a 5+ star experience for a weekend jaunt in the hills for those who can drop into CHC or Queenstown in the Gulfstream V on their way back to Monaco or Geneva.
Various outfitters can pick your party up in matching Ferarris or Range Rovers from the airport.
Wives get the health spa treatment and helicopter picnic experience.
At least the customer gets what they pay for. No one is getting short changed.
Unlike some of the Kiwis that have been ripped off chasing a lifetime dream of an Ibex or Dahl Sheep hunt.
We don't even see these people, they use private lounges, and have personalized Customs clearance.
It's just dumb to assume that advertisement is reflective of the Kiwi hunting experience.
It's a ridiculous assumption to make.
I'd have to ask if in the time Mr dog racing has spent on the forum, has anybody posted their hunting experience similar to that advertised.? Short answer ..... No.

It's like me saying we can't afford to stay in London 'cause a night at the Ritz in $1600.00.
There are other options obviously.

Al I know is the OP wants to hunt NZ during the roar 2017. Wilderness ?, NI?, SI?, Species?, and starts bleating cause he sees a $95k price tag. WTF?

The ad hominem attacks are really fallacious arguments that are without merit.

That is like the argument from someone with a live-in mother-in-law, who loves kids, saying that you never heard them bitch about the price of daycare. I don't know any avid local hunters that hire local guides.

Midol and a tampon might help.

So you object not to the message but it's delivery, and therefore agree with me, and accept that the example you give is not typical of hunting in NZ.
