Meet John Falconer Guide

John Falconer

Owner, host & guide (aka The Boss)

Hunting is John's life, passion and where he is in his element. Whether it be out bow hunting with his son Charile, tagging along for hound hunts on horseback for hares with his daughter Lucy, pig hunting with family and friends or a solo hunt on the West Coast for tahr - this is John's game! He lives and breathes hunting down to the finest points, including continuing the generations of herd improvement of the game animals present on Waitoi Creek. 

John's years of experience from hunting New Zealand and multi continents have given him an incredible amount of unique skills. John's ability to judge a trophy in the field is second to none and he is an accredited SCI measurer. 

The rapport that John builds with everyone who visits and spends time at Waitoi Ceek is done with true meaning and purpose. This person rapport is what makes your time with him a step above, making for the most desired outcome for any hunter.
