Publisher Description
In the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, Australians formed what was known as acclimatisation societies" to "enhance their barren forests" and released red and fallow deer from Europe and sambar and hog deer fromAsia, as well as rabbits, hares, and foxes from various locales. Meanwhile, pigs, camels, horses, donkeys, Asian buffalo, and banteng brought to Australia by farmers and others escaped and reproduced without large predators to control them.
Customer Reviews
Outstanding read and resource.
Aside from a great read, there is an enormous resource of hunting information, tips and tricks in this book. Many times I made a mental note to go back and note a particular useful point - but I kept getting drawn on by the stories and never did. Annoying as now I will have to read it again! This truly is as much a resource on hunting as it is a memoir - a great gift and legacy for all who take the time to read it.
