Karl Bottema

Owner/Guide

Karl is a very passionate hunter on land and in the water. From a young age he has enjoyed introducing and sharing this experience with others, whether it be hunting a Trophy bull Tahr or Spearfishing a Snapper.

Karl has worked as a professional hunting guide since 2014 in the South Island high country.

Karl believes it’s hard to beat the feeling when you help someone achieve a hunting goal or take a certain bucket list animal. It’s this desire that stemmed off his already huge passion for hunting Tahr, Chamois and Red stag. This drives Karl to want to continue to assist people in achieving their goals through a true wilderness New Zealand hunting experience. Karl has broadened his hunting horizons and now heads over annually to BC Canada to guide.
