An Outdoor Obsession

Who takes their new bride into the middle of nowhere, to go hunting on their honeymoon?
Join John Eason and his family and friends as they recall wild experiences from 50 years of hunting in the New Zealand bush. Stories from Te Urewera, Whirinaki, Kaimanawas, the East Coast, Whanganui, Raukumaras, Mt Aspiring, the West Coast, Fiordland and Stewart Island. Tales of hunting sambar, sika, red, whitetail, tahr, chamois, pigs and trapping possums – you name it, you’ll read about it. Be enthralled by stories of swollen rivers, flooded huts, flying in doorless helicopters, inappropriate actions out of moving vehicles, medivacs, search and rescues, rafting, jetboating, hunting antics, the animals that got away and the trophy heads so sought after.
