"'Zeff Veronese is one of this country's longest and most respected chamois and tahr hunters ... His prowess with a rifle and camera have been long known and achieved national recognition within the New Zealand Deerstalkers' Association. The collection of absorbing tales and photographs this back country author has provided, strongly conveys honest passion for our wild places and a sincere respect for the game animals hunted'--Kevin J. Whitelaw, New Zealand's Hunting Legends. Why do I hunt? That is a very hard question to answer. Both my grandparents were hunters and so was my father, my brothers and some of my uncles. I grew up in Italy during the war and the years after, in very tough times. However, the hunting instinct was never far away ... When we arrived in New Zealand, we found it to be a goldmine for a hunter and made the most of it. The first ten years we hunted mainly for meat and always had a freezer full of game meat ... Perhaps the last 40 years I have mainly hunted for trophies. Sometimes when in a good spot for a few days, I might see 30 or 40 animals and as they have no trophy value I don't fire a shot but happily film the events. Hunting is still good for me because I enjoy being in the wild. Camaraderie is an important ingredient on a hunt; there is nothing better than being in a tent or a hut with friends who have the same interests and are happy to share their funny stories after a hard day in the mountains"--page [4] of cover.
Howard Egan aka "Grandad" to his friends on the FishnHunt internet forum, has been involved with the outdoors his whole life. From Acclimatisation Societies, New Zealand Deerstalkers' Association, both at branch and national level, including a term as president, Ducks Unlimited and a host of other similar organisations. He served a term on the National Recreational Hunting Advisory Committee, was convener of the Clevedon Game Fair in 1989, and was trophy convener for the NZ Exhibition of Hunting in 1978. His passion has been for Fallow deer and much of this book revolves around a life spent hunting and studying these beautiful game animals, but hunting, particularly big game hunting, has taken him all over New Zealand as well as to Africa and North America. A truly remarkable hunting career, which continues to this day including a Fallow buck shot in 2007 which he regards as the highpoint in his hunting life. He lives (with a wetland & some Fallow deer) near the Tararuas in the Wairarapa.
"Sets out to capture the essence of hunting in New Zealand, by reflecting not only on hunting itself, but on the experience of wilderness that is so much a part of this activity"--Dust jacket.
