"Off the back of the successful TV series Red Stag Timber Hunters' Club (currently in its sixth season, with more to come), Andre, Anto, Dan, Tim, Sam and Dave are the official members of 'The Hunters Club', a team of intrepid and passionate hunters who aren't afraid to put in the hard yards, reaching areas deep within New Zealand's mountainous back country. Showcasing the natural beauty of these locations, and really 'earning' the right to take a shot at one of New Zealand's many species of deer, and occasionally wild pigs, rams, ducks and goats. For the boys, it's all about being physically fit, digging deep to reap the rewards, and doing it all in a way that's respectful to the animals being hunted and the environment that they venture through. Not to mention having a bit of a laugh with their mates along the way."--Publisher description.
