Hunting in the Raw

A lot has been written about the successes of deerstalkers and about venison recovery in general, but little has been committed to paper about things that go bump in the bush! For every deer shot the average hunter has suffered a series of mishaps, misfires, clean misses, stuff-ups and other testing events. This book tells of Al Lester's less successful journeys into the bush. He tells tales about himself, his mates and, as always, the one that got away that was 'as big as a house, mate!' The majority of stories in the book are about deer hunting and are set throughout the South Island, with several jaunts in the North Island. However, Big Al also hunts possums, pigs, goats and goes in for a bit of trout poaching.
