Deer Cullers at the end of the 1955-56 season. Outside the Roadworkers Hut, Haast highway. Back row: Frank Erceg, Dave Stack (field officer) Garth McGrath, Ray Efford. Front row: Mike Palmer, John Reardon, George Erceg. |
My mission as part of the research phase, is to contact with the last of the original deer cullers and view their private collections. There's still treasures out there! And they need to be documented and recorded. This will involve travelling throughout New Zealand to get the job done. To meet and interview people also.
I'm asking for your support to raise funds for this project. Please my givealittle page linked here, for a full statement, goals and what the donations will also be used for:

A bit about NZDC Inc.
The NZDC Inc. was founded in 1966 as a way for government shooters to keep in contact with each other through reunions and regular newsletters. The society represents a significant period in the history of deer hunting in New Zealand – and the era of the iconic government deer culler 1930-1987 when the Department of Conservation took over deer management. So, if you know of anyone who has something worth looking at, and or, I can interview. Leave a comment here. Or you can also email me via the contact page on my website:
