Bush Stalker

<p>I grew up spending my school holidays roaming around on my Grandparents farm at the base of the Kaimai range in the Bay of Plenty near Tauranga. With an abundance of rabbits on the property which we hunted as soon as my brothers and I were old enough to use Grandpas old BSA .22.<br>At the age of eighteen the call of the bush had grown too strong to resist and I gathered some traps and bought an ex-military .303 rifle and went bush.<br>From the early eighties I hunted in TeUrewera ranges before moving across the Great Lake Taupo to the Hauhungaroa range to hunt Possums for their skins in the winter and meat hunt Red Deer in the spring.<br>For the last six years I have written of my experiences on the NZOutdoor magazine and included the stories in this Book.</p>
