"Almost everything you need to know about deer hunting in New Zealand. This book covers: Hunting from field to table; How to hunt safely, effectively and successfully. How to take venison from the field to the table to enjoy the fruits of the hunt. Information every hunter needs to know, gleaned from the experience of someone who has hunted successfully for over forty years. Invaluable resource information from ballistics to cooking, plus links to over one hundred web sites. "Ultimate guide for deer hunting... This is a marvellous book for young hunters, as it quite simply guides them out into the field and then back to the table with their meat. This is the book I would have liked as a reference when I started hunting." (Stephen Jaquiery). "Absolutely wonderful - the very best that I have seen, and I think I have probably read nearly all of them available in NZ." (Inspector Joe Green: Manager Licensing and Vetting, NZ Police). "Alex Gale has done a splendid job to include so much information into such a compact and valuable reference book, which I recommend without hesitation." (Ken Pierce).
