I started hunting with my dad as 4 year old, hunting has been part of my life for as long as I can remember. by age 12 I shot my first animal, a 12 point Red Stag with a single shot .223.

It is honestly too hard to choose, I love hunting Red Stags, Chamois and Tahr which I am fortunate to have great access to not far from home.

Raised on the West Coast of New Zealand, Lucy comes from a long line of hunters and was introduced to the sport as a young child. With strong support from her dad, she has spent her life challenging the stereotype that hunting is just for men. At 16, she experienced her first week in Fiordland, known by many as the pinnacle of New Zealand hunting. She has since worked alongside many respected hunting and outdoor brands, and now shares her passion for the alpine environment through real and relatable hunting content. She inspires more women to have the confidence to get outdoors.
