Soft cover. Zustand: New. 1st Edition. Vern Wilson takes a light-hearted look back at some of his more successful overseas hunting trips. Always on the lookout for that special trophy, after all, one is all you are allowed, in most hunting destinations, unlike New Zealand. And it is these differences that opened Vern's eyes to the wider world of hunting. Good company is always a handy thing on a hunting trip, someone to share the successes and the disasters. Vern manages to find some good Kiwi "buggers" to tag along on his adventures and one irrepressible, unstoppable, and frequently frustrating American called "Dunc". Meet the North American Indian guide who didn't want to talk to white men, "Atilla" (the Hun) a hunting guide in Namibia, who ruins every stalk and orders everyone around. Rick the outfitter from Wyoming who tried to teach Vern how to drink cowboy style and a host of others. Vern and his good buggers hunt their way around North America and Southern Africa, where every adventure has it's humorous side and the trophies are not always the animals.

Soft cover. Zustand: Near Fine. 1st Edition. This copy is signed and dedicated by the author. Feels unread. From Hoon to Hunter is the first book Vern authored and in it he writes about the hunts for big game trophies which made him worthy of inclusion in Kingsley's book. An autobiography, Vern starts his book with a chapter entitled 'A Hunter is Born' and this details the "hoon" part of his life represented by the first part of the book's title. We learn that Vern was somewhat of a trouble maker until he was taken on a back-country deerstalking trip. On that trip Vern enjoyed success, fun, humour and role models ? the keys to hooking a young person on a hunting life. The rest of the book recounts the "hunter" part of the title ? each chapter focuses on Vern's hunts after a particular big game species ? sika; wild sheep; chamois and tahr; white-tailed deer; feral pigs; fallow, rusa and sambar; red deer (one chapter about Ureweras and another about South Westland); and wapiti. Signed by Author(s).
