Ep23 - Interview with Josh James The Kiwi Bushman

Interview with Josh James Kiwi Bushman, find out who he is, what he does and his love for bow hunting. His aim is to start a television show so he can do hunt and fish  for a living and share the stuff that he does with the rest of NZ and the world.

He spent his childhood years growing up in Napier south. Although he was a city kid my brothers and he spent every spare moment playing on the city outskirts pedalling their BMX’s far and wide to go fishing at the wharf or rabbit hunting at the old winery.
Josh was a bit of a ratbag when he was a teenager and left home and school at the age of 14 to go work in the forestry and sheep shearing industry, as well as doing a heap of other odd jobs along the way.

Josh discovered white water rafting in 1997 and this led me to the West Coast, He instantly fell in love with the wild and rugged beauty of the place, and back then there were deer running round all over the shop and the amount of crystal clear rivers was staggering, as were the fishing and hunting opportunities.

There were possums in the bush back then as well so if a bloke ever ran short of a buck he could go bush for a few weeks and make enough dollars to gas the vehicle up and pay for food, beer and ammo.

In the winters Josh was working in different countries around the world rafting and spending the spring and autumn in the bush hunting deer and trapping possums.
