Ashlee Strange
HunterBorn and raised on the beautiful Coromandel Peninsula, my passion for the outdoors comes from a childhood out following in my dad’s footsteps – hunting, fishing, and free diving. If I’m not out in the bush or on the tops chasing game, you’ll find me out on the ocean fishing and freediving.
