Hunting & Fishing New Zealand
Get paid to know your gear. Specialist retail for people who live outdoors.
Hunting & Fishing New Zealand is a network of specialist outdoor stores, most of them owner-operated by people who hunt and fish themselves. Around 40 stores stock firearms, rods, packs, boots and everything in between.
This is specialist retail, so product knowledge is the job. Customers arrive with a specific trip in mind and expect real advice. The upside is that expertise is rewarded quickly, and the store network is small enough that good staff become known nationally.
