New Zealand – Red stag, Tahr & Chamois

Field Journal, Uncategorized

August 1, 2013

I recently traveled to New Zealand with friends to hunt the North and South Islands. The trip was incredible. Without question, New Zealand is one of the most beautiful countries I have ever seen. The hunting was excellent. I had three groups hunt from the end of May until mid-June. All hunters took very nice animals which included huge stag, tahr , chamois, sika, fallow and rusa deer. Game was extremely plentiful, guides are first class, great lodge and the chef prepared wonderful meals. I even took a trophy tahr!!

I am off to Kenya in a couple of weeks to shoot birds and to witness the great migration on the Mara. Hope all are having a great summer.

Gordie’s Book

“There are some things I knew about Gordie White before I read his book…and one important thing I did not know. I knew that he was not only an experienced hunter, but a passionate, with a genuine love for wild places and wild creatures. I knew that he’d been brought up as a hunter, and that this is, essentially, his life as well as his hobby, both his avocation and vocation. It’s my chronological misfortune to consider him young, but he’s filled his years with a tremendous amount of experience, from Canada to Africa and back again, with multiple stops in between. I knew these things because we’ve shared African campfires together…and I knew one thing more: Gordie White is one of the good guys, honest, self-deprecating, not given to the shameless self-promotion that, in this era of mass communication without accountability, turns inexperienced ‘wanna-be’s’ into self-proclaimed gurus. But there was one important thing that I did not know about Gordie White: The man can write! Although I’m sure there are more, there are two things that make a book like this worthy of reading. First, the writer must have a genuine story to tell. Second, he must be able to tell it. Gordie White passes both tests, and has given us a great story, worth telling and worth reading.”
