Paul Brunner
I have had the good fortune to bowhunt around the world, from Siberia, to Africa, to Australia, Argentina,and most of the U.S.  Over the years I have met three guides who are the best of the best.  Andrew Mackay is one of the three!  He is the finest back up man on dangerous game I have ever seen.  He is a true HUNTER!  His knowledge of the game he hunts is phenomenal.  He can take even the least experienced bowhunter right in on an animal and make sure he is safe.  He is one of the funniest guides I have ever met and he makes his camp seem like a bit of home and comedy routine all at the same time.  I have hunted Water Buffalo with him three times and will be going back again soon.  I have taken two big bulls with longbow and recurve bow with Andrew, and both went down in sight....one arrow each.  If you have a chance to hunt with Andrew for gosh sakes take it.  You will never have a better hunt... I promise you.  Paul B Brunner "Two Short"  misseskudu@earthlink.net, phone 406-396-6487.

Paul Liberato I am a traditional bowhunter and I booked a trip with Andrew for Buffalo.  He and his operation can be summed up with two words "the best".  Andrew works tirelessly 24/7 to make sure that your trip is more than a hunt…it is an adventure!  Getting up every day and seeing birds of every kind and color, kangaroos, wallabies as well as other "strange" creatures only adds to the fantastic hunting adventure there in Australia.  I have personally hunted all over the world but I have never been associated with someone with the knowledge, skill and work ethic as Andrew.  If I could only make one "hunt of a lifetime" it would be with Andrew for Buffalo in Australia.  Paul Liberato Richmond Texas USA  pliberato@comcast.net, 281 344-8587.

Steph Wottrich We purchased an auction item for Buffalo and Sambar deer at Safari Club International in Reno, and we had no idea what we had in store for us!  Andrew worked with us before hand and together we carefully planned a one month hunt.  Upon arrival in Darwin, we were met by Andrew and began our trip. We were fortunate to have taken a great number of true trophy animals. Andrew is extremely knowledgeable on hunting and field judging the animals of Australia. Jerel took two very nice buffalo, as well as a kangaroo and a wallaby. I harvested an exceptional banteng, buffalo, and scrub bull (feral ox) as well as blackbuck, sambar and rusa deer. The trophy quality was outstanding, including a number 1 SCI Feral Ox, taken with a handgun. I can honestly say we had the time of our lives. Andrew and his father are great hosts. It's a full "family operation" as his brother and sister assisted in Queensland as well. Andrew is quite a cook "on the barbie", the meals were fantastic! I cannot say enough good things about this trip. The hunting was great, the company was great. And we can't wait to return to hunt the big buffalo again! Dr. Jerel K.

Greg Cheek Hunting with Andrew Mackay is truly a life time experience.  He has the innate ability to find high quality animals accompanied with great humor and professionalism.  It would be a pleasure to discuss our hunt via e-mail or phone.

Art Flippin My hunting buddy, his two sons and I, have hunted several different Australian animal species with Andrew MacKay on two separate trips.  He tailored our hunting experience to meet the physical needs of our whole group, and worked extremely hard to get us the trophies, and hunting experience, of a lifetime.  The lodging and food provided was top shelf and enhanced the hunting experience by keeping us relaxed and refreshed.  I have never met a guide and outfitter who worked as hard as he does, Andrew has a can do attitude, and the ability to provide a hunting experience that you will never forget.

Mike Pell I hunted water buffalo with Andrew Mackay in July of 2009 and I couldn't be more pleased with every aspect of the safari.  Airport pick up, nice comfortable lodge and a fine Australian chef which is Andrew also. They have a vast and beautiful concession with plenty of game, and this guy knows where to find them.  He can find buffalo bulls when other buffalo can't find buffalo bulls. And did I mention trophy care and photography? Excellent. Anyway, I got two big buffalo, a nice feral pig with long teeth and had the time of my life.  Mike Pell, Pilot Mountain,NC, mpell@yahoo.com, phone 336-351-3873.

Craig Zamiatowski Spent a wonderful 10 days in July of '09 with Andrew and Mike at the Hotspur Lodge.  Most comfortable accommodations in beautiful country with some of the best grub, hospitality, and Aussie beer!  My wife Patty took home a huge Rusa and Sambar Deer now proudly displayed in our game room, Thanks mate!

Cliff Pirtle "Australian Outfitters is a provider of a true outback experience". The Mackay's will treat you like family, providing a comfortable bed and great food as well. All hunting is fair chase with an abundance of wildlife. The scenery and weather are phenomenal which makes for an experience of a lifetime. My Wife and I were extremely satisfied with all that the Mackay's had to offer." Cliff Pirtle, Roswell, New Mexico, blankman00@hotmail.com.

Nate Andersohnn  Hunting water buffalo with Andrew was one of the greatest hunts in my life. Getting close enough to succeed with a longbow was hard but Andrew was up for the challenge. This is the best big game hunt for the money, full of new experiences and adventure. Nathan L. Andersohn, Attorney. Andersohnn@aol.com, phone 303-650-6414.
