New Zealand hasn't yet made up her mind on what's to be done about her game animals. Total extermination is the soil conservationist's advice. Control say the sportsmen ... While the argument goes on, more and more overseas hunters come to New Zealand for shooting opportunities second to none in all the world. Who are these sportsmen? What do they expect? What luck do they have? Rex Forrester, bushman and hunter since the early age of twelve, went into the safari business in 1956-after fourteen years' experience as Government employed and independent deer hunter - and has since been conducting sporting tours for scores of shooters and fishermen from Australia, Britain, Europe, and the United States. One of his most notable experiences was the organisation of the deer-shooting end of the American Ted Williams's 1964 sporting marathon, in which - within the space of ten and a half hours - Williams caught a 587lb thresher shark and four good trout, and shot three deer. Rex's visions of an easy and profitable life as safari-leader were rapidly dispelled by reality. With some magnificent exceptions, for whom he has unqualified respect, his clients, have been hard to satisfy and the going has been tough. At the end of one peculiarly exasperating trip two fit and healthy overseas clients demanded that Rex and his mate carry them piggy-back through a river. What happened next is only one of the dozens of hilarious stories in this book. These whirlwind sporting tours left Rex with little time for writing, so he teamed up with journalist Neil Illingworth, and the partnership is a particularly happy one. Roughly half the book deals with Rex Forrester's hunting apprenticeship, his professional shooting for skins, and as a Government culler; the latter half describes the safari business from the inside. It gives a new angle on hunting in New Zealand and makes a book that will be enjoyed by all who love the outdoors as well as by the hunting fraternity.

There are those closest to him who are more than they're letting on. And the humans in his life turn out to be the worst kinds of monsters.
