Great photo of a man in his element. It was that era, late 40s early 50s that my Grandpa was here working on the Waikato hydro builds. He fell in with a good bunch and spent many many weeks in the bush with blokes like Henry. Got an education in deer hunting alright and me and my cuzzies got the benefit of that experience for sure. The stories of just how many bloody deer there were though makes for a helluva yarn, I reckon they were just about tripping over them. The work to get them out though, crikey. Not for the faint hearted.
