About Us

Tim Armstrong

Owner/Operator

Tim has grown up on his family owned sheep & beef station known as ‘Glenora Station’ or Ora Station, as it is today.
He & his wife Frecks, opened Glenora Hunting in 2008 & their hunting business has grown in leaps & bounds since then.
Tim has thoroughly enjoyed hunting all his life & now has a passion for taking others hunting, young or old.
He gets more enjoyment out of seeing others shoot their desired animals now & seeing the end result. Truly an honnor..
Hunters come as clients but leave as life long friends, many of whom come every year.
Tim works on the Station when he can in between the hunting & he and Frecks also own & manage 350 beehives. Between these jobs, they are kept busy.

We are extremely lucky to be able to work as a family unit.
We look forward to meeting you all here at Glenora.

Hamish Armstrong

guide/son

Hamish has been fortunate enough to have grown up on the Station & around hunting. He stuck his first wild boar at the age of 2, with the help of dad.
When he left school he did pest control in the mountains, culling deer, goats & pigs.
Hamish; along with the whole family are very enthusiastic & passionate about hunting & he has made a career out of it, spending his time between guiding here at Glenora Hunting, New Zealand & Folding Mountain, BC, Canada & has been since 2009 when he was 19.
He spends weeks out the back of BC in camps with horses & clients, even in the snow & below freezing conditions at times.
He guides stone sheep, moose, elk, mountain goat, caribou in Canada & red stags, fallow & Arapawa rams in New Zealand.

I look forward to meeting you all.
