50 Years of Trophy Hunting by Gary Joll

$50.00 NZD

Category: Hunting

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. This 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 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 isues by the Alaska 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 cross-hairs 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 internationaly 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, oncle a species had been secured the author seldom sought to better a trophy in hand, but instead sought difference species in difference places, different countries, and his trophy hunting being his personal Permit to Travel, ofter 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. ...Show more

Dark Forest Deep Sea: Reflections of a hunter by Richard Hall

$38.00 NZD

Category: Hunting

In the wild there is an element that cannot be seen, tasted, heard or smelt - it can only be felt, and it is a feeling of enchantment. After his first hunting experience in New Zealand as a young man, Richard Hall has been drawn back again and again, wanting to relive the feeling only this country's wil derness can give him. Dark Forest Deep Sea goes beyond recollections of one man's hunting trips. It delves into the emotions and sensations at the heart of the experience, and the reasons for doing it. From catching eels in a river on a moonlit night to spearfishing on a single breath in the Pacific Ocean to stalking deer in silent forests - scientist Richard Hall reflects on both solitude and mateship, our relationship with landscape and nature, and how the wilderness gives him what he needs to live in the world. This is the human story of hunting. ...Show more
