In 1994, I was given a Ruger .308 for my 21st birthday. Over the next few years, I joined my two uncles and older brother on annual deerstalking trips, flying into the Whirinaki Forest. I had a couple of opportunities to shoot my first deer with this rifle but was unsuccessful.
Over a period of 33 years, few stalkers can claim to match the stunning success achieved by Archie Kitto as a result of his hunting in Otago and South Westland.
