Meet the Team
Joy Campbell
Manager
Joy grew up on a multigenerational family sheep farm in Waikaka (Southland) New Zealand where her love for the outdoors and wildlife started and now living in Central Otago, this love has grown into a passion.
Joy developed a keen interest in hunting at a young age while out shooting with her father and brothers to provide food for their large family of 10 and has spent much of her years hunting pigs and deer in the outback of Australia.
Now back in New Zealand, Joy enjoys time with her husband and two young boys collecting kai - whether that’s foothill hunting, fishing, diving or catching yabbies.
Not only is Joy a full time Mum and manager of NZTH, but she also does night shifts for St. John’s ambulance as a first responder where she has a certification in emergency management.
Joy has a great love for New Zealand and a fantastic knowledge of everything it has to offer for local and overseas hunters and non-hunters, so give Joy a call today to make your dream of hunting/touring New Zealand a reality.

Darryn Rae
Hunting Guide
Darryn regards himself as fortunate to have grown up in a "kiwi' hunting and fishing family with a father who passed on his passion for the outdoors and Darryn has since passed on his lifetime of experience and love of the outdoors to his own children.
Whether it's game birds, fishing, deerstalking, small game hunting or spear fishing any spare time will see Darryn following his passion to hunt. Over many years Darryn has hunted across much of the South Island and Stewart Island as well as being involved in a range of commercial pest control work.
Darryn enjoys the opportunity to share his knowledge of the New Zealand outdoors and his respect for the animals that inhabit it to help ensure that the client gets the best New Zealand hunting experience possible.
