520 _aIntroduction by Bill O'Leary, President of the New Zealand Deerstalker's Association and NZDA HUNTS National Coordinator. Endorsed by the NZDA for the NZDA HUNTS hunter-training program. Graeme and Don need little introduction to most New Zealand hunters, in this their first book together they set out to introduce the many young and not so young hunters who are just starting or returning to hunting after several years break. Modern times require more up-to date thinking equipment and strategies for hunting the many types of deer, Chamois Tahr and other smaller game available to the modern hunter. From the basic to the technical each topic is covered to allow an understanding of what is required and more importantly how to achieve a successful hunt. Safety is an important issue with more hunters in the field, as hunting has become an increasing popular sport. Correct choice and use of firearms are covered along with basic bush craft and the modern aids to navigation and safety. Endorsed by the NZDA this book is recommended reading for all participants in the NZDA HUNTS training courses.
