Colour and b/w photographs. Mint new copy. Recollections of deer stalking and big game hunting in New Zealand, Australia, New Caledonia, the USA, South Africa and Zimbabwe. "If you were to walk into the author's trophy room and silently start counting the mounted hunting trophies you would reach a figure of forty-five animals on display. The book - the author's fourth - is simply the story of the hunt for each trophy now hanging on the walls of his trophy room, each trophy a continuing memory of so many special and sometimes remarkable days of hunting. It was while hunting in Alaska, away back in 1963, that Gary became a confirmed trophy hunter. In the pocket of his hunting jacket were permits issued by the Alaskan Department of Fish and Game that allowed him one moose, one caribou, one grizzly bear, one black bear, one Dall ram. Before squeezing the trigger on a prospective trophy Gary had to determine that indeed the animal he had in his crosshairs was a fine aged male, for after making a mistake in selection there was no second-chance permit. Long before departing on his once-in-a-lifetime trophy hunt in Alaska Gary read extensively, teaching himself what was internationally considered a trophy of a given species. His 'Alaskan Experience' carried over into his hunting for all future hunts, always seeking the outstanding aged male. And, once a species had been secured the author seldom sought to better a trophy in hand, but instead sought different species in different places, different countries, his trophy hunting being his personal Permit to Travel, often with his wife Sue accompanying him. Gary's dedication to serious trophy hunting carried over into his professional hunting guiding career where daily he sought for his client only the very best to be found. Testimony of this dedication to quality is to be seen in Issue VI Volume 2 of the SCI Record Book of Trophy Animals where nineteen of the Top Twenty-five bull Tahr and sixteen of the Red stag were guided by Gary. Today the author unequivocally supports the formation of the recently established Game Animal Council and fervently hopes that within his lifetime the day will arrive in New Zealand where the average hunter will hunt for trophies not for tally."

Fine new paperback. Readable recollections from 27 years of New Zealand trout fishing. "Some fishing books are all about how to fish. Others are about where to fish. Still others are chock-full of meaningful tips to enhance success. Reflections on the Water, however, is unlike any of these. It is refreshingly different. It is a compilation of one man's memories of half a lifetime of enjoyment on or near the water, flyfishing and occasionally hunting. It includes bouncy, often humorous anecdotes about offbeat adventures in the bush. The book is also about people, about colourful characters, about those remarkable, lasting friendships that somehow are conceived so effortlessly while sharing the wilderness experience. Above all else, it is a reflective, sometimes philosophical look at what makes those precious hours spent outdoors in New Zealand so incredibly special." PREVIOUS PRICE GBP 9.95.

"Daryl Crimp (Crimpy) has slung his rifle over boulder-strewn valleys, shingle-scarred peaks, craggy mountains and vegetation tangled forests for more than forty-years and doesn't plan on stopping. Hunting is more than just a hobby, a pastime and an adventure; it's a calling and for those of us fortunate enough to hear and answer it early, a life of adventure beckons. From surviving snow-stinging blizzards on the Southern Alps, challenging roaring stags in Westland, fending off irascible old boars and meeting tahr in testing terrain, to setting his mother's bedroom curtains on fire - Crimpy is not short on adventures to share. From the pen of a master storyteller, relive each hunt in nerve tingling detail: feel the tension mount as the wind shifts on the nape of your neck, chill to the unseen throaty roar, recoil to the pungent smell of rutting stag and squint through the wood smoke as you crumple before the campfire's glow at the end the hunt. Something to Aim For is more than just a collection of hunts: it is a story about a son and his father - and a father and his son. It is the story of a journey that ends with a beginning!"

He is Alistair (Boycie) Boyce and he owns the Backbencher Gastropub across the road from Parliament in Wellington. Politicians love the place but they get no mercy from Boycie who has some of them featured on his wall as stunning puppet caricatures, looking down as they enjoy his fine cuisine. Follow Boycie as he gets into hunting big time along with various mates like The Shadow, The King of Steinlager, The Welsh Marksman and many others. The stories portray his passion for the outdoors and are accentuated by Boycie's wicked sense of humour as he learns the skills and tricks of the trade of the great outdoors. This is not a book about big trophies and epic hunts; rather it is one man's journey into the world of hunting and fishing told with humour, humility and honesty and superbly complemented by his 'Just Do It' recipes that will make your mouth water."

These animals were the foundation stock for many of the English and European parks and for amost all the red deer of Australia.
