Gerald Fluerty

Gerald is a very experienced, passionate and successful hunter on a private level and has been involved professionally off and on for over 30 years.

Gerald comes from many generations of professional hunters, in fact the first of the Fluerty's living in New Zealand in the early 1800s were professional hunters. With generations of hunters behind Gerald, you could say being a hunter is not what he does but what he is.

Gerald's skills as an experienced hunting guide coupled with a passion for making his hunter's dreams come true makes for an experience never to be forgotten. Hunting with a rifle, bow or camera Gerald just loves being out in the wild sharing his extensive knowledge of hunting and understanding of game animals and New Zealand's native flora and fauna.
