As a foreigner looking to come to NZ and hunt/hike the area I thought about hiring a guide but after seeing the prices, I am better off finding some decent folks and buying them beer (for some of the prices I saw I could get a whole town drunk!). If i get general directions from them awesome, If I get a deer great, if not then I will at least have seen some awesome landscapes. At least that's how I grew up hunting, look for a good area way out that few want to hunt and spend the time exploring on the way. It's not about killing everything but the experience.
