"I have hunted extensively in Canada over the past 35 years and also in Africa on several occasions. This hunt without question was the most unforgettable adventure I have ever experienced. First class all the way. I cannot thank my hosts and new friends Stu-e and Judy enough for an unforgettable adventure." Lyle Beaudoin, BC, Canada. |
"I've hunted most of the world including 14 trips to Africa, 25 whitetail trips to Alberta Canada, always looking for big non typical trophies. I have longed to come to New Zealand looking for exceptional non typical Red Stag trophies. The hunt turned out to be far more rewarding than I could ever of dreamed of. I have never enjoyed a hunt more, than the hunt with Stu-e and Judy Rees of ASJ Hunting New Zealand, on their fantastic Argyle property. The food and friendship were all five star, and the Red Stag hunting was without peer. There were plenty of animals seen, and the two trophies we took, were exactly what we were looking for. If you have hunted at all, you will know there is no such thing as a sure thing, but Stu-e and Judy Rees are as close as you will get. If you are looking for a big Red Stag, then look no further. Dr Gerald Mann, Austin |
"What a total experience! The hunt was incredible, but only a small part of all we enjoyed. Our two hosts, Judy and Stu-e, are exceptional people, courteous at all times, full of energy, good fellowship, and love of Country. We have added them to our not so large list of hunting friends we have around the world. Many thanks to both of them for how they extended themselves to care for our special needs, since I am an amputee and this year will be 80. They helped me to 'push the envelope' but not to go beyond. Yvonne is a retired teacher and is a non-hunter; and she too shares my feelings about Judy and Stu-e, the hunt, and New Zealand, its people and the spectacular landscape. About the hunt, I was impressed with the quality and quantity of animals available and with Argyle Station itself. I have hunted all over the world, Russia, South America, and Africa more than five times, and can honestly say that the Tahr hunt was truly a lifetime experience. The helicopter flight over the snowy ridges and mountain peaks was breathtaking… and to take a true trophy was the perfect result. We both enjoyed touring the South Island. Stu-e and Judy were perfect guides and companions. It was more than just filling idle time…. It was an experience in its own right. It was an unforgettable trip and it was far more than value for money compared to the costs of similar hunts elsewhere. “It was first class all the way.” We can’t thank our new friends and hosts enough." Al and Yvonne Thanhauser, New York. |
“I have dreamed of coming to New Zealand for over 40 years. New Zealand is simply the most fabulous, and secure country in the whole world. I don’t know why I waited so long before coming! It is beyond everything I had thought it would be. The people, Stu-e and Judy Rees are the finest hosts you could ever want. My dream was to harvest to magnificent Red Stags. The season was turning cold and snow was upon us. We still had a great time. We saw many animals, and the trophy quality was simply fantastic. I to, had a blast! In my hunting trips, this ranks as the best in all respects, and hopefully it will not be my last with these great people. God willing I will be back next year.” Ralph Caputo Pennsylvania USA |
“ We had a great time and I want to thank you both again. My dad says he wishes he was still there with you in New Zealand. You had better be careful, or you might have a permanent guest. We never laughed so much and I still can’t believe that I bungy jumped! Thank you so much for showing us such a good time. The food, accommodation, and service were truly fantastic. Dad says you’re simply the best!!!! And I fully agree!!!!” Marion Butler, Pennsylvania USA |

"I just want you to know how much we enjoyed our hunt again
this year. The hunt and touring was again simply fantastic! It is hard to
improve on the previous years but somehow you always make every effort to out do
the previous hunt.
With you or Judy
as my guide, I have taken more free range Red Stags than I can remember. I have
also shot a 400+SCI Red Stag, a 13 ½ inch Tahr, 10 ¼ Chamois, and at one time
the No. 2 Sika, plus several other big Sika. Lloyd McMahon Lloydminster ABT9V3C3 Alberta, Canada. Web Page: www.greatwhiteholdings.com |

"Stu-e and Judy Rees have taken all their best experiences from hunting the globe and have found a way to turn your wildest hunting dream into reality.They have created what they would consider their ultimate hunting adventure. You certainly will not find a more stunning place to hunt a huge red stag anywhere in the world than at Argyle! When we hunt we all want a quality experience, hassle free and with the chance of fore filling our dreams of taking a huge trophy. We want to enjoy comfortable lodgings, good company, great food and we want our family members to be happy and entertained. ASJ Trophy Hunting is all about the experience… life long memories. You simply will not find hunting outfitters that will work harder to turn your dreams into reality, than Stu-e and Judy Rees, they are hunters of the highest calibre. My only regret is that everywhere else I hunt, I can’t help comparing to their operation, and quite frankly nothing compares. " Jarrod Watt. |

"When I saw the big stag, I promptly said. “This is the stag I have come here for.” He is an absolutely fabulous Red Stag, and now I have the biggest grin on my face! Stu-e and Judy Rees of ASJ Trophy Hunting are simply fantastic guides, hosts and their Argyle has to be an absolutely superb operation. First Class, all the way from start to finish. Argyle has to be the best place in the World for Big Red Stag. It has been an unbelievable hunting experience .Stu-e and Judy say that they specialize in making dreams into lifelong memories. They have certainly done that for me. It was such a special experience!" John Vassilimis SCI International Life Member. |
