MVP Whitetails was founded from a shared love of hunting and whitetail deer. From the beginning, their focus has been on building some of the best deer genetics in the country, raising high-quality bucks and giving every client the best service possible. For the MVP team, hunting has always been a family experience. That same approach carries through to the ranch today, where trophy quality, long-term herd management, great facilities and genuine hospitality all play an important role.
As outfitters themselves, they understand what separates a good hunting operation from a great one. They know the standard required to deliver a quality hunt. More importantly, they understand the value of making people feel like part of the ranch.
We are a family run business and we have all been hunting together as a family since all of the kids were little. Anytime we hunted together as a family it was always some of the best memories we would have together as a family and that keeps us doing it.
MVP Whitetails got started from our love for hunting/whitetail deer. The vision for the operation was having the best deer genetics in the country to provide to customers as well as to grow the biggest prettiest bucks, and give the best customer service possible.
Long term herd management is very important, we want to maintain/grow upon what we have built for many years to come.
5 star lodging/facilities/food, exceptional trophies, and great customer service.
A big thing is obviously having the lodging animals etc, but I think being able to make your customers feel like family is something that matters a lot.
I want them to feel like they are a part of our ranch.
We have developed a great relationship with Duncan, his family and his team and are very thankful for that. Venator has the most impressive stags, lodging and service. The hunting properties and the whole experience in both NZ and Oklahoma are special.
Being in New Zealand is super special; the properties and animals are incredible to see there. It is some of the most beautiful land I have ever seen! Oklahoma being so convenient in the US stood out how nice that land and the animals are as well.
I do look at them differently, things I notice is transparency with the customer as well as trophy quality, lodging/service and cleanliness/organization.
If we feel that the place is somewhere we want to return year after year.
We are going to continue raising the best animals we can and have the best hunting operation we can.
MVP Whitetails represents the kind of operation we admire: family-run, focused on quality and committed to making hunters feel genuinely welcomed. As both Venator clients and fellow outfitters, they understand the work that goes into running a world-class hunting operation, and they know the details that bring people back year after year.We are proud to count the MVP team as clients, friends and partners, and we look forward to welcoming them back to Venator again.

The best outfitters bring every part of the experience together: high quality animals, exceptional guides, remarkable hunting country, considered accommodation and great food. We sat down with Jacques Hartzenberg during his recent visit to Venator New Zealand to talk about his life in the African bush, the growth of Chapungu-Kambako and what it takes to deliver a complete South African safari hunting experience.
The Himalayan Tahr (Hemitragus jemlahicus) stands as one of New Zealand’s most iconic alpine game animals. Renowned for their thick, flaxen manes, agile nature, and affinity for sheer vertical rock faces, hunting a Bull Tahr in the Southern Alps offers one of the most physically demanding, rewarding pursuits in the Southern Hemisphere. Navigating rugged high-country bluffs, executing precision shots across deep ravines, and enduring the crisp alpine elements leave a lasting impression on every sportsman.

Last year, we had the pleasure of partnering with Johann Fanzoj to create a custom Classic M98 built around the legendary Mauser 98 action. The bespoke rifle is a reflection of shared values and hunting excellence. Made from premium materials with meticulous attention to detail, the Classic M98 is more than a rifle, it is an heirloom, offering hunters a lasting connection to heritage and a timeless expression of luxury.
