Hunting wasn’t something I was born into—it was something I chased. Growing up in Wellington in a non-hunting family, I started out with a slingshot at 14, sneaking off during school holidays just to get out in the wild. By 16, I had my first air rifle, spending every spare moment hunting rabbits before sunrise, even camping on the lawn so I could slip away unnoticed.
Things really took off when I moved to Christchurch for university. I went to Lincoln on a hockey scholarship, but after two years, I gave it up—hunting full weekends in the Southern Alps mattered more to me than Saturday games. It wasn’t easy figuring things out without guidance, but I learned through trial, error, and a lot of steep climbs.
Now, I work full-time as a research agronomist in Ashburton, and for two months a year, I guide in Northern BC, Canada. Hunting has shaped everything I do, and the pursuit of adventure never stops. Running the Project X Carbon Hunter in 7mm Rem Mag, I trust my Hardy Rifle to perform in the toughest conditions—just like I do.

We're three kiwi mates who can't get enough of the mountains. We love to hunt New Zealand's vast back country searching for a range of big game animals. If you're into hunting adventures, exploring the mountains or just admiring the landscapes our natural world provides then hit that subscribe button, sit back and enjoy our videos. To us hunting is more than just a hobby - it's a way of life.
Being able to provide free range and sustainably sourced meat for our friends and family, adventure into some of the most remote and harsh environments New Zealand has on offer, spend quality time with our mates, escape the worries of everyday life and create stories that'll last a lifetime are a few of the reasons we love to hunt.

My goal is always to try and live multiple lives of adventure in one lifetime. We truly are what we eat and for me that connection to the land and the recognition of where our family's meat comes from is everything.
The last 4 years 99% of our home cooked meals are wild game. Basically if I haven't shot it, speared it or hooked it....we don't eat it. I need to know where and how that animal died. I need to have that blood on my hands and know that no one else has done my dirty work. I'm a qualified chef and my wife is the most amazing home cook. The back story and respect of field to plate is of the up-most importance to us.
I train to hunt, so I'm always ready to hit the hills/mountains when there's a good weather window and I'm so grateful to have an incredible wife that knows, for me to be the best version of myself I need to find it in the mountains. Finding the adventure and excitement in every day helps teach my kids by example & trying to be the most loving husband is what drives me.
Justwildnz is all about the viewer and the adventurer within. It's in us all, you just need to dig deep and find yours. The best part of our lives should be in front of us and not behind. I believe this is only earned and not gifted... I appreciate you.
