Im flattered to think that anyone would be interested, but nah, thats not me really. When I left the farm after 20 years I got into academic stuff and uni lecturing so Ive pretty much had my fill of writing and researching. I enjoy jotting stuff down here though.

I'll write it... I'll interview you. Well, we can go stay in a hut somewhere and hunt morning and evening. Spend the heat of the day and the cold of night with you regaling me with your yarns. I'll write a1st person book and you can edit it.

I reckon we'd have a finished product in about 7yrs time - Craig can bankroll the publishing.

And we are immensely grateful of your jotting down Bruce. Long may it continue.

Great stories amongst this thread fellas. I'm almost a generation out from those early meat hunting days and used to listen to stories from a couple of uncles about the adventures. When I started, there was still a bit going on but I shot to feed myself & family, nothing spare to sell as the deer numbers hadn't recovered by then.

Your manuscript will qualify as a suitable submission for your PH.d. The Forum members can vet it and vouch for authenticity. Everyone would be happy to throw in a few footnotes for added gravitas. Take up the challenge .

All this time, and now your humility and sense of humour shines through.

And I thought that you were just a one trick Targex and Barnes junkie. Shame on me

It would be cathartic for you to add all your jottings together . That would mean all your writing talent would see fruit . You could become the Resident Writer in the Haurangi's until the manuscript is finished. 2 chapters a week and the jobs done. You owe it to you whanau as well.
