"Author of Fallow Deer Hunting in New Zealand and Pigs at my Doorstep, Bob Pittaway recalls some of his more memorable hunts in the hills of New Zealand. A mainly North Island hunter Bob has ventured south to Stewart Island for Whitetail, the mountains for the South Island for Chamois and Tahr, as well as pursuing Red, Fallow, Sambar and Sika deer in the north. His occupation has placed him at various times in prime hunting locations or has helped him gain access to private hunting blocks. He has had a life long passion for deer and hunting which nowadays he is passing onto the younger generation, so they too can experience this great pastime. The books covers the best years, up to the presant day, of a very active hunting career, with some first class trophy animals along the way. The many photographs in this book also show the authors interest in wildlife photography which has developed over the years. The book finishes with some advice to hunter's wives from Bob's wife Wendy."
