Non hunters are very welcome and hunters are encouraged to bring their non hunting partners. We know that for maximum enjoyment for the hunter, the thought of sharing the experience with a loved one is the ultimate thrill. We have found that many non hunters enjoy going into the field with the hunters and many prefer to go touring each day while their partner hunts. Either option can be arranged, as well as a mixture of both. All touring is personally guided by Judy, who has a great knowledge of the area and enjoys sharing her knowledge with clients, Additional days for sightseeing and or touring can be added though we suggest this can be stipulated at the time of booking.

Argyle Station is a natural beauty and there is much to take in. Non-hunters are welcome to be in the field with the hunter when hunting the lowland animals. We do not encourage non-hunters in the mountains unless there are special circumstances which would we discussed prior to each mountain hunt. We have a policy of safety first and second for all our guests.
It is our suggestion that non-hunters pursue websites listed below and see the wide array of activities and sights available. The list of websites is not complete. There are many more you will find in your search. If you need help to make decisions, we can also recommend places to visit, and work with you on your arrival so as to maximise the touring time to meet your requirements and match with the time you have to make your dream a reality.

Any special requests you may have, we will do our utmost to ensure you are accommodated.

We can recommend places to visit to ensure the non-hunter enjoys their time in New Zealand. Going on daily excursions, being pampered and guided to view wonderful sights, scenes and activities before returning to the Lodge at the day's end to share the ambience and hunting stories as you relate your own adventures, adds a new dimension to your New Zealand experience.

Non-hunter Payments:
Non Hunter payments for lodging and touring can be paid at the end of the hunt before leaving camp.

The choices are endless.  We will work with you to maximise your time and enjoyment in the creation of memories.
