Deer - the New Zealand Story: The New Zealand Story

Description

This new book tells the amazing story of red deer in New Zealand since their introduction in the 1850s to provide sport for the settlers. Before long they were declared a pest and various control measures were implemented that created a hunting subculture encompassing all levels of society including deer cullers, private shooters, entrepreneurs and farmers. This book provides a detailed, highly readable overview that draws upon a lifetime's experience in the worlds of deer farming and hunting.
