Summary: When Alan Stevens was a boy in the 1960s, his brother would write him letters describing deer roaming the tops and river flats of Reefton. Without having ever lifted a rifle, Alan caught the hunting bug. Since then, he has spent many happy (and quite a few unhappy) hours out exploring the bush, tops and back country of the South Island - both on foot and by helicopter - armed with a rifle and very often a camera. In this book, Alan shares many a tale of life in the bush and the back country. (Back cover)
