Thread: Venison meat hunting in NZ in the past

When I was meat hunting (1966/67) the venison rate was 1/4 per pound (13 cents) and it was still good money just by the sheer volume. By the early 1970's I was in business as a gunsmith and doing quite well from the venison industry (scope mounting and rebarreling FN FALs, AR15's, and Mini14's and big mag conversions on BAR's, and then flat out designing and making net guns). Good days but long hours, and it built my first house in 1973.
