Bob Pittaway is a station manager in the Whanganui district. For the past fifteen years he has managed farms in the heart of fallow country. Daily contact has given him an insight into one of New Zealand’s most popular, but also most secretive, game animals.
This book has been nearly twenty years in the writing. During that time much has changed on the game-animal front in New Zealand. It takes a hard look at the history of the fallow deer in New Zealand and an optimistic look forward to the future of “game management” for fallow deer, as well as examining in detail the situation as it exists today.
Bob is married with four children. Both his wife Wendy and the children share his love of hunting with both rifle and camera, as the many excellent photographs in this book show. They live on and manage Fields Track Station, whereas Bob himself says, “Being here means so much to me, not only as a place of work, but also as a place where I have been able to live with the fallow deer and extend my knowledge and experience of the species.”
