About your guide Brian Elwarth

Brian started hunting over 30 years ago, and started guiding in 1992. Brian has travelled to Alaska, North America, South America Canada, Australia, Europe Denmark, Norway, Sweden, Germany and Africa hunting, guiding hunters and filming hunts since 1995.

Brian knows what is expected on a guided hunt and strives to be the very best. He has been a professional cameraman filming for hunting TV show “Relentless Pursuits” (USA) since 1997 and filming his own hunts and most of his clients hunts – which has led to his hugely successful DVD series. Few hunters in New Zealand have the wide experience and phenomenal success rate, as Brian does, when hunting Free Range animals in New Zealand.
