Let’s introduce you to Jake, who has been an integral part of Leithen Valley since 2013. He is an avid young man with a deep passion for hunting. He has accumulated more hunting experience than many seasoned hunters twice his age. Jake is dedicated to making your hunting dreams a reality, ensuring you have an up-close and personal encounter with the wild game you pursue.
Growing up in the rugged South Island wilderness, Jake followed in his father’s footsteps, managing trap lines for possums. After high school, he decided to turn his love for hunting and the outdoors into a career. His infectious enthusiasm during his work experience at Leithen Valley led him to trade textbooks for binoculars, a decision he has never regretted.
Jake also seized the opportunity to complete the New Zealand Professional Hunting Guides course. He is always eager to go the extra mile for his clients, sharing in their excitement as they harvest the trophy of a lifetime.
Jake is a true Kiwi—keen, impressionable, and always ready with a good story. Currently, he is following the hunting seasons from New Zealand to Canada, gaining invaluable experience. The Leithen Valley team is incredibly proud of him for pursuing his aspirations.
