BRUNTON, Kenneth Evan interviewed by Morag Forrester
Record Group — Box: 54
Identifier: H0578
Overview
Evan's boyhood interest in deer hunting around Waimate led him, at the age of twenty-one, to apply for a job as government culler in the Te Anau Basin. Two seasons for the Forest Service were followed by several years as a shooter involved in the venison recovery industry in southern New Zealand. For almost a decade, he and his wife and children were based at Martins Bay on the Fiordland west coast before moving, in 1983, to start a new deer farm on the outskirts of Te Anau. This recording focuses mainly on the lifestyle of a young itinerant hunter who evolves into a deer farmer and enthusiastic eel conservationist.
