Our Story
Kia ora, my name is Phil Crouchley and I am a professional hunting guide located in the South Island of New Zealand. Based in Fiordland for the majority of my life, I have been a keen hunter from a young age. This passion led me to Canada where I worked as a guide hunting dall sheep, mountain goats, mountain caribou, elk and grizzly bears.
I now feel it is my duty to share my passion back home in New Zealand to help others secure the trophy animals our country has to offer. Whether you are a beginner hunter simply wanting to fill your freezer or after the trophy of a lifetime, The Chase Fiordland offers you an authentic New Zealand backcountry experience personalised for you.

Had an amazing experience with Phil on my first time successfully deer hunting! Very professional, great gear, and extremely accommodating. Everything about the day was amazing- from the great lunch, unparalleled hunting knowledge which I was able to learn from, and taking the time to show me how to field dress a deer. While it was meant to be a meat hunt, we managed to get a great stag and all around will be very hard to top this day in the future! Huge amount of venison for the freezer. Great value and highly recommend!

If it’s a remote, genuine hunting experience in some of the most beautiful parts of the world you’re after, I highly recommend the Chase Fiordland. Phil has the eyes of a hawk, is part mountain goat, & has the drive & passion for adventure. I’ll be back!
