Memories of a Lifetime of Hunting

The author spent three months in a cottage at Bendigo Creek, Cromwell, Central Otago, in 1999.

Letter writing to old hunting mates started a series of memories about good times, and bad. After nearly 40 years as a professional hunter there were a few.

Bendigo Creek was a return to some of the best country. The people wonderfully sociable and friendly, the  climate, as one would expect, bitter with hoar-frosts, snow and ice.

He revisited some of the old hunting grounds and hunting mates during his stay - the Matukituki, Neck Creek and Hunter Valley, not to mention the Cardrona Valley.

The result, is a letter to the reader.
