"I found my niche in the world of hunting about ten years ago. Because I took up the sport much later than the typical hunter I faced a steep learning curve, which I attacked with urgency and gusto but not always with style or success. This is the story of the journey so far. Take the dizzy ride with me." When Andy Lyver married into a prominent hunting family in the Hawke's Bay she had a choice - beat 'em or join 'em. It wasn't a hard decision. She'd grown up enjoying the outdoors and the freedom that life in the country offered a girl, but hunting had been something that men did. With the guidance of Maco, her unflappable mate, she discovered a whole new world that satisfies her appetite for adventure, scrapes and challenges. A former editor of the New Zealand Deerstalkers' Association magazine New Zealand Hunting and Wildlife, freelance writer, pilot and seasonal cook for a hunting lodge, she brings a whole new perspective to the hunting experience. Introduced by Garry Ottmann, Executive Director of The Game and Forest Foundation.
