Thread: A bit of History

I remember seeing my grandfather's Otago Acclimatisation Society licence for one stag in the Wilkin from the 1920's (sadly thrown out in the clean-up after his funeral in the 1960's, along with his Otago Artillery Volunteers framed service certificate) and the fee was 25 Pounds, a staggering amount of money in those days. His BSA .303 factory sporter with a 5 shot mag used to hang on a peg under the stairs but my uncle got rid of that as well. I was stuck at boarding school otherwise I would have saved the licence, the certificate, and the rifle. Family history is something you only get one chance at.
