It was the first information about Sika deer in New Zealand and based on hundreds of hours of observation and research from a skilled hunter. The booklet was for many years the only information about a relatively unknown breed of deer in New Zealand, which was gaining popularity with hunters as they presented a new challenge on the hunting scene. As a result he soon became known to every serious hunter in New Zealand. And the original booklet had to be reprinted several times. From an early age Don was destined to become a hunter, his ability was honed from years of professional deer culling as well as his own recreational hunting. These skills allowed him to not only take the animals he sought but also to get close enough to take nearly all of the photographs in this book with out the use of modern telephoto lenses. His wanderings have taken him all over New Zealand as he has hunted and photographed all of the big game animals we have.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eALL PHOTOS ARE OF THE ACTUAL BOOK. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAll books are sent with free courier postage within New Zealand.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Phoenix Books NZ","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50513882415351,"sku":null,"price":39.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0603\/7687\/5255\/files\/IMG_4951_b3336fbf-4958-4e4c-ac2a-007eb3894464.jpg?v=1771880338","url":"https:\/\/phoenixbooksnz.com\/en-us\/products\/the-wanderings-of-a-deer-hunter-by-don-kiddie","provider":"Phoenix Books NZ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
