Memories of New Zealand Deerstalking | Tony Orman | Good Condition | Signed Book
Great moments in the hunting lives of leading New Zealand deerstalkers - the old and the not so old - are retold here for the enjoyment of today's sportsmen. These first-hand accounts of memorable highlights from a wide range of stalking experiences span almost a century. Many recount thrilling episodes from the classic days of hunting, evoking a long-gone way of life up on the ridges and down in the remote valleys where the great herds once roamed. The memories are not all of great trophies shot. In fact quite a few centre on animals which for some reason "got away". As editor Tony Orman points out, and as many of his contributors' stories confirm, killing is secondary for most hunters. Their thrills are in stalking, in challenges, in bitter experiences, in human endurance - and in human comedy, which may be infuriating at the time, but which bring many a smile in the retelling. Tony Orman, now New Zealand's leading author of outdoor books, has compiled a collection of deerstalking memories which will delight hunters of every generation.
