Mt Richmond Forest Park

Lewis Pass

Any other area in the Nelson, Malborough, North Canturbury and Westland areas

Great site and thank you for the old Deer Cullers for forming the early tracks and building great old huts which are rapidly dissappearing.

Hi,
Can anyone out there help me.
I'm looking to do a bit of traveling but at the same time want to stick at what i allready work at and love doing, deer culling.
I was wondering if anyone in NZ has any contacts that could lead to a job (possably permanent).
I live and work in scotland as a deer stalker and have so all my life.
Any helps appreciated.

great site, I was in NZ back in 93, my wife and I had the best time, we were treated and greeted as old friends, We did some crossings around LK Taupo. I was intrigued with the mountain country and the hunting there. I picked up some books by an author, Phil Holden. I have read those books a million times. Since then I met a guy up here in AK who was a culler, great stories. thanks DG

Hunted for NZFS for a while in 1968-9 before meathunting for a few years more. Hunted with Jim Warren, Chris Satherley, Terry Lambert and someone called the prisoner. Great days. Have a number of good photo's of those years.

I shot wallaby's in the Hunter Ranges,Base camp was Kelceys Bush my area included Mount Studholm and beyond.

I prefered being a loner.

Farley Hoy I remember meeting briefly?
Field officer, a great bloke,Name?(sorry,forgotten).

Max Kershaw was the Senior Field
Officer.

I was on contract basis only.

Bush hunting I found gave by far the best talley numbers.

My rifle is a Parker Hale Sports P14 303 with a modified Le Enfield 10 shot magazine and a Pecar 3 to 7 varipower scope.

Yes still capable of downing the odd red skin.

Period: winter 1956.

This was a great build up for my 1956/1957 summer season into the mighty Landsborough River block.
Deer,tahr and chamoi were the quarry. However bedtime is calling me. So is my dear wife.

I will continue sometime in the near future I promise.
