Meet The Bushman
I'm Tristan Kogler, The Bushman. Whether it's the New Zealand bush or the other side of the world, I'm chasing the next adventure.
The brushtail possums are one of the biggest threats to New Zealand's native bush and wildlife.
I've spent years chasing possums across the wider Northland region, and more recently extending my reach by touring our beautiful country, Aotearoa New Zealand. My focus is on finding the balance between conservation and sustainable fur harvesting, backed by proven experience and results in the field — I don't shy away from the harder country. Clients trust me to get the job done properly. I love this job because every day is a different adventure, a new experience and perspective of our land where we live in paradise.
