I knew posting this would be quite entertaining! I think the photoshopping is just plain weird, though obviously was done with boosting sales in mind, ie big public land stags sell mags. The more I think about it tho the more I wonder how much he stretches the truth about other things ie long range shooting DVDs etc. I'm not making accusations and have never considered it til now but it does make you go hmmmm!
His DVD was actually the reason I posted the pic , because in it he gives another bullshit artist stick with his comment about Dawson bliss pretending to be in the kawekas
Dawson bliss is a thief and a conman.
As far as I am aware GD hasn't been publicly busted stealing? but is no less of a conman.

I knew someone who was featured in NZ Hunter and read their original story - which was actually full of hilarious jokes, albeit riddled with grammar mistakes haha. Printed version was butchered down so much it was nothing more than a simple blow-by-blow describing of what happened - although the timeline of events had been altered weirdly.
As someone who has very literally gained qualifications involving photoshop use - the image photoshopped has been done so with very little bother with skill. The perspective is honestly pissing me off haha. Way too many of those magazines have very half-assed design and editing in them (the consistent spelling mistakes in NZ Hunter, anyone?)....
Either way those stories are merely printed as entertainment, and should be treated as such.... can't be too bothered either way. I'll buy them for something to read when I'm bored that's for sure. I can imagine the original author feeling disappointed in the misrepresentation of a great memory be published for all to see. Perhaps they should just complain about it and be issued an apology?
Its the input, contributions and experiences from the hunters that make the magazine. Why should anyone tolerate said times be bastardised therefore belittled. Recently a nz mag article named hunters in nz 'nimrods'. Not very cool.
Ya can't park there mate.
Not sure what the fuss about photoshopping is. Virtually every image in every publication in circulation has been retouched in some way. Look at a woman's magazine or even a "men's" magazine as good examples.
There's no way that they look that "good".
I know personally one of NZ hunters contributors (actually a number of them but one in particular) and know for fact the true story of how big heads were shot.
I had credited the Author with all the bulshit and lies but maybe he had some help also.

So if I was to pay a few grand to shoot a massive record winning stag in a paddock and photoshop it into the hacket(one of the original releases of fallow now overrun by people and pinetrees and the associated spotlighters) and win trophys and have magazine interviews and storys that would be fine yes?

Integrity went out the window a long, long time ago Cam. Publishers don't want stories, they don't want authenticity - they want what sells, which is why they doctor images and all sorts of shit. Like I said, look at women's / men's mags, look at political campaigns. Nobody looks as good as they do, in fact these days you need to look hard to even read a good story.
Integrity has almost become a niche human value essentially.
The range of what we think and do is limited by what we fail to notice. And because we fail to notice that we fail to notice, there is little we can do to change; until we notice how failing to notice shapes our thoughts and deeds
The bush was/is the last bastion of integrity, hold that flag high and don't let it fall!
