The New Zealand Wilderness Hunter

“This is real deer country, right from the start of the bush edge. The walk is soft, the

direction is constant, and you are just looking and tuning in to being in the bush and

carrying a rifle. The roar is here, and anything can happen.”

James Passmore explores some of New Zealand’s greatest wildernesses with expeditions into

the Southern Alps for Tahr, South Westland for trophy stags and deepest Fiordland searching

for the lost Moose.

The New Zealand Wilderness Hunter contains some of James Passmore’s finest deer hunting

stories as well as descriptions of solo wilderness adventures and the philosophy of a

passionate hunter.

James Passmore is an outdooors magazine writer based in Dunedin and author of “The New

Zealand Hunting Rifle”.
