Lilybank Safari Lodge was a trail breaking business established to provide hunting opportunity for visiting hunters. Gary Joll (with his business partners) purchased Lilybank Station and the pastoral lease that went with it, with government approval, to operate a hunting business. Almost before the ink was dry some sections of the government had changed their mind and tried to stop Gary in his attempts to set up a tourist hunting business, which at its peak generated millions of dollars in overseas earning for New Zealand.
As a pioneer of tourist hunting and a dedicated hunter himself this is a very personal story about one man's dream that in spite of the obstacles placed in his way by government departments succeeded and became the model for most of the tourist hunting operations today. Gary was the first president of the New Zealand Professional Guides Association, and has been honoured by Safari Club International on several ...

Martin Brenstrum has been exploring New Zealand's backcountry since as far back as he can remember.
In
Hooked on Hunting
he shares a decade and a half of hunting yarns (and a few good fishing yarns along the way), from the days when you could go bush in the morning and be home in the evening with a deer cheque in your pocket and a satisfied, if knackered, grin on your face. Recalling the many friends he hunted with and the often hugely entertaining - at least in the telling - experiences they had in all weathers, in all conditions, but invariably with equal doses of enthusiasm and determination, Brenstrum also shares his keen knowledge of their quarry, the surrounds and the skills needed to be successful in the rough terrain they traversed.
Thoroughly engaging reading, this is not a book just for hunters but for anyone who enjoys a good yarn.

Kate Hunter

Thousands of New Zealanders have hunted in the past and continue to hunt today.
New Zealanders like to think of themselves as a nation of 'can-do' people. The national legend is populated
by physically capable, self-reliant men and women. That legend used to be based on pioneers and farmers,
and has now come to encompass our identity as outdoor adventurers and conservationists.
Hunters belong in this national story as well. Hunting was essential to successful colonisation. It touched the
core need to eat and the human desire to share meals. It served as a form of community building, of family
cohesion, it involved inter-generational knowledge being handed down. Cutting across racial and class
differences, hunting tells us more about different groups and their perspectives on the natural world.

The words "Trifullarious von repens, drum ditty dum" were immortalised in Ron Helmer's book
Stag Party
, spoken by the slightly hung-over Snow (aka Colin Jones). This is his story!
In an age when young men took to the hills to protect New Zealand's bush from the ravages of deer and pigs (which the wisdom of the day had made responsible for all the ills that beset New Zealand), deer cullers were the nation's saviours. Men such as Barry Crump, Mike Bennett, Alan Farmer and all the others that have put pen to paper over the years to record the work carried out by these selfless heroes. Jonesy was there, starting in Ruatahuna in 1954, as a government shooter. Choppers had not been invented so it was tent camps, fixed wing airdrops four months apart, run out of anything and it was a long walk out for more supplies. Four bob a tail for deer, three shillings and sixpence for pigs, seven quid a week retainer. He was in the ...

The Deer Cullers

Hans Willems

Starting in the 1930s New Zealand undertook an innovative step to deal with what the then powers that were perceived as a serious conservation menace; the placing of hunters in the New Zealand back country to reduce the number of deer. So started the profession of deer culler; unique in the world, one of hardship and adventure.
Later, authors like Barry Crump (
A Good Keen Man
) were to glorify the job and separating fact from fiction proved hard for many a reader. Here at last is an authentic work about the origins and methods of deer culling in New Zealand, written with the help of ex-cullers "Old Firm" and with the support of the New Zealand Deer Cullers Inc.
The Deer Cullers
is the book closest to the author's heart. He travelled the country far and wide to interview ex cullers, taking a full three years of hard graft to take it to completion.

Dave Ratcliffe lived and worked through changing times. The transformation of the the venison industry when foot hunters were replaced by helicopters, and the timber industry as native logging ended.
"I had lived, hunted, eaten and drunk with some of the best there were. The skills and professionalism of those operators in this (venison recovery) business would never be beaten. Some were fearless, but none were heartless, and all of them possessed an adventurous spirit. They knew how to play hard and they knew how to drink hard, but they also knew how to work hard. I was going to find it hard to go into a world without the adrenalin, the adventure, Native logging was finishing; it was just about all over. The venison industry, was a dying game as well, as we knew it anyway. It was to continue, but not in the same depth. The bureaucrats were moving in. They were watching every move we made. Regulations were coming in, you can't do ...
