Claiming trophies of all New Zealand’s game animals is known as the ‘Grand Slam’ and is the reserve of few hunters. For Vern Wilson, his quest for this honour closed in 1990 when he shot his final animal, a sambar stag.
As a NZRod&Rifle reader, you’re likely someone who froths over hunting. The time in the wild, the stalks, overcoming challenges imposed by both the terrain and the game, the right shot at the right time and, of course, the successes when it all comes together combine to make the sport exciting and fulfilling.
