Thread: The good old days ?

Cheers for sharing that Pengy. I like seeing photos from those days.

Did any one count the ears ?

Ears were worth 3 rounds .303 for a pair. A pig snout was the same.

Thanks Pengy..will do I recognise one of lads x culler in the Urewera, passed on I'm afraid

Is this thread OK for some other old timers? - I put one up in the photography section but not sure it was seen - was from fifty years back when I was seventeen - he was maybe sixty - can I put it up?

You are right 'Turehu' A private hunter received the ammo bonus above as the cullers.

To a culler depending on the era of course but say late 50s early 6os a set of deer ears and tail or a pig snout could well have been worth 2 shillings to 18 shillings each.

Plus it looks like they are taking deer skins at whatever the price was per pound.

That was as well as the ammo bonus above.
