I remember sitting on top of 3 stags above to slip up the Aniwaniwa valley, looking down at the landrover at Riddifords hut and saying to the father in law, I'd like to get that fat short arse up here to hump them down there and take 25% off him.

But you adapt and all my vehicle and hunting expenses were tax deductible with little bookwork.

Withholding tax must have come in 1974 as there is no tax on this docket.

I left school in 1973, that receipt was 4 months work for me... I wish I had been involved in the venison and particularly possum skin industry. Well done Gamehunter.

I built a 100 M2 house back then fo $19k not inc the $4k section. $500 was a lot of money.
