Harker Hunts the Coast, Peter Harker Mike Bennett the Venison Hunters Philip Holden, there are about 20 of them Tony Orman, again take your pick. And don't forget Barry Crump, The Good keen Man. Classic in its day Bennett's book is a favorite. | |||

There are quite a few DVDs on culling and live capture "Never in the field of human conflict was so much owed by so many to so few." Sir Winston Churchill | |||

The best of the lot for me will always be "A Pack and a Rifle" by Phillip Holden. It's one of the few that are well written and also have a beginning, a middle and an ending. If there were one NZ hunting book to recommend I would recommend this one. "A Good Keen Man" by Barry Crump, (And as a companion piece; "Stag Party" by Ron Helmer, who was a Canadian tourist who signed up for a summer and shot with Barry Crump.) Both are still in print and you should be able to order them online. | |||

Deer Hunter,by Joff Thomson, Shooting for the Skipper,Jack McNair, Wildlife Ranger,Ken Francis. were three books written by cullers from the thirties,[although Ken Francis was never employed as a culler] ,he was a staffer who spent a lot of time in the blocks. Beyond the Rivers bend by Max Curtis,and his brother Ross also wrote a couple or three. Mike Bennets is a good book although it deals mainly with venison recovery rather than Govt culling,which was a very different lifestyle altogether.Many lump the two eras together unfortunately. | |||
