For the past 14 years the author has been at the sharp end of recovery programmes for kiwi, kokako, kakapo, kaka and blue duck. As a result he has spent thousands of hours in the bush observing, capturing and monitoring some of New Zealand's most endangered icons.Kiwi Hunter is an unsanitised firsthand account of the battle to save New Zealand's most distinctive animal, the kiwi, now threatened with extinction. Sid frankly confronts the issues - trhe counter productive conservation politics, aerial 1080 poison operations, and some of the unsavoury blood'n'guts aspects of trapping and hunting control measures. This book also strives to bring to the public notice today;s conservation heroes and personalities - kiwi field workers, goat/deer hunters, stoat and possum trappers - who work hard to protect the kiwi and its habitat. Finally it presents an unprecedented view from ground level of the cyptic flightless birds themselves.

Dave Ratcliffe lived and worked through changing times. The transformation of the the venison industry when foot hunters were replaced by helicopters, and the timber industry as native logging ended.
"I had lived, hunted, eaten and drunk with some of the best there were. The skills and professionalism of those operators in this (venison recovery) business would never be beaten. Some were fearless, but none were heartless, and all of them possessed an adventurous spirit. They knew how to play hard and they knew how to drink hard, but they also knew how to work hard. I was going to find it hard to go into a world without the adrenalin, the adventure, Native logging was finishing; it was just about all over. The venison industry, was a dying game as well, as we knew it anyway. It was to continue, but not in the same depth. The bureaucrats were moving in. They were watching every move we made. Regulations were coming in, you can't do
