Hardcover. Condition: NF. Dust Jacket Condition: VG+. 1st. Bill Axbey is a man of many parts --- a hunter from his teens, a Wildlife ranger, Conservator of Wildlife Southern Lakes, based at Queenstown for 30 years and, with a score of about 5000 deer goats and pigs to his credit, he was also noted as one of NZ's most influential advocates for conservation, with trout fishing and ornithology among his other interests. This book, however, is mostly about his hunting experiences and those of his contempories. These provided his fascinating collection of hunting tales which cover the widest possible range of situations from the hazardous, to the funny and the not-so-amusing. To add an international touch to the book Axbey includes anecdotes of big-game hunting in Africa. His great affection for the NZ outdoors which comes through in his entertaining accounts is best summerd up by his belief that the beauty and unique features and the coutry's wild places should be carefully stored in the memory as "he might not pass this way again." Great stories relayed in a relaxed yet informative style. First edition on 1991 from Collins, 153 pages, 16 b/w photos, South Island map end-papers.
