I didn’t grow up hunting. At 33, it would’ve been easy to think I was too late to start, but a year ago, I began tagging along with my partner Seth on his trips into the mountains – not really to hunt at first, just to be there, soaking in the views and the early morning stillness.
I was born and bred in the Waitākere Ranges, Auckland. My family weren’t into hunting, but we enjoyed fishing, and I spent a lot of my childhood fishing the Manukau Harbour and travelling to the Central North Island for family fishing holidays.
