Sam Beaufill - Professional Hunting Guide
Sam works as a professional hunting guide both in New Zealand and in Northern British Columbia, Canada. A candid and very honest conversation about the state of guiding, management, and outfitting in New Zealand. One of a handful of kiwis who make a full time living out of guiding, alternating between seasons and spending the majority of his life in out of a sleeping bag. Matt caught up with Sam in Canada, in transit fresh from a long NZ season on his way north prepping for the opening day of the stone sheep season in BC.
