Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Around the late 1870s red deer from the Scottish Highlands were transported to New Zealand and released into both Islands for the purpose of the odd bit of sport and know doubt for a bit of variety to the pot. Under total protection for eighteen years the numbers increased along with the spread and by the 1930s the population had become beyond the ability of the Acclimatisation Society to contain the rapid expansion. The Internal affairs department took over the task from 1930 to 1956, and then the DPF, Department Protection Forest division of the culling. During the war with no hunting pressure the deer in the bush and high country had become enormous herds beginning to do some serious damage. Under the control of the Internal affairs department hunters were sent into the back country with pack horses, ex-army 303 Lee-Endfields and endless supplies of 303 ammunition. The hunters were required to take the deer skins and were paid an expense of ten bob per skin. After about 1955 tail tallies were taken, the price per tail from ten bob to a couple of quid depending on the area being hunted. Young men from all around the globe and all walks of life were drawn to the adventure of being paid (not a lot) to hunt in some of New Zealands remotest country. As the hunting became more challenging with the deer expanding into the remotest area of the country the forest Service set up a training camp for hunters in a remote Wairau Valley called Dip Flat. Three months of extensive training was under taken by prospective hunters who had first past a selection course. Days were spent on the range learning basic fire arm skills, first aid, cooking, river crossings, and all the skills needed to be able to work for long periods on your own. Over the three months trainees were assessed as to the type of hunting areas they were best suited for, mountain, country, bush or more open country, then sent to blocks all around the country. However the job was partially suited to the individual loner type or bloke who tended to rely on himself and is aware of his own capabilities and some people are just not at ease working and living for long periods alone. There is no accounting for it; its just the way it is so although having passed through Dip Flat, hunter turnover was still an average of three to four months.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: John Keller is seconds away from a horrible death, but dying is something he will not easily accept. John has a power that he was unaware of. A power few people possess. Through a combination of fear and an extreme degree of self-preservation, John wills himself out of his body. He is now a member of a small group unknown to the living world. He is a "Bail-out." This can only happen if a person bails out in a moment they were sure death was eminent, but they wouldn't have actually died. Their physical body remains in coma while they are left to wander naked and invisible until their body dies. One thing separates John from the rest of the Bail-outs. His body is not in coma. His body is walking and talking and - killing. John's wife takes her children and goes on the run and the physical John hunts them. The real John sets out on a quest to acquire a body and stop the imposter before it's too late. He will have to overcome dangerous obstacles and deceive trusted friends. Who will find his family first? Two men determined to affect opposing outcomes. One is driven by love and revenge, the other, by pure hatred and an uncontrollable desire to kill.

Book excerpt: After a number of earthquakes hammer the Sierra Madre region of Mexico, Grupo Verdugo, a splinter group of cartel enforcers, takes control of the drug shipping routes through that territory. Caught in the middle, a small orphanage high in the mountains, desperate for supplies to care for the children and the battered earthquake victims, reaches out to Abel Yeager for help. Yeager and his friend Victor agree to deliver the needed food and medicine. But Grupo Verdugo seems to have a special interest in starving out the clergy and forcing them to bend to their will. They send a man known as the Executioner to stop anyone daring to assist the people. Yeager and Victor are in for the biggest fight of their lives as they are forced to move forty children, a dozen sick and injured patients, and one feisty doctor out of the mission and through mountains infested with vicious killers.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Taking the controversial approach that deer hunting has become more of a "social event" than an affirmation of the more basic human need to subsist in the wild, Jim Roy proposes a simple, common sense method of stalking the whitetail that he calls "survival hunting." Some of the mysteries and myths concerning the whitetail can best be unraveled by observing the natural movements of the herd-not the more unnatural movements caused by pressure from humans or dogs. Roy breaks the deer herd down into its natural family groups, such as parental does with fawns, lone bucks, and single does of various ages, tracking their movements to and from their bedding areas based on such natural influences as wind direction and angle of sunlight. Based on over twenty years of observation at the Smithsonian Institute's Environmental Research Center on Chesapeake Bay, this revised edition of a classic will be welcomed by hunters and wildlife watchers alike.
