Description
Although in recent years cullers and airborne meat-shooters have taken their toll of Westland's red deer, that, and chamois, the dense bush and rugged terrain will continue indefinitely to protect these game animals. Westland still is, and will always be, a Mecca for the toughest breed of New Zealand hunters. The emphasis must be on the word "toughest", for the climate, the precipitous valleys and the roaring torrents create hazards met nowhere else in the country, and shooters experienced in less formidable hunting areas have always found that Westland conditions present a special challenge to fitness, skill and perseverance. It is for these seasoned men that Lew Sutherland has written this book. It is not intended for the new recruit to New Zealand hunting, but for the man already experienced in bush-craft and marksmanship who has decided to win memorable trophies from the most difficult environment that New Zealand has to offer. A study of this book before the expedition is planned will put such hunters on the way to a happy and rewarding trip. Its advice is based on long, hard, practical experience of the area - and is not lightly to be passed over.
