Connor McKenzie has been around; he started hunting in the early 1950's and continues to this day. He has been involved as a deer culler, possum hunter, helicopter shooter and recreational hunter. This has given him a keen insight into the working of human nature and the bullshit that goes into creating a good yarn. As he states in his foreword "Everything from here on is based on true stories - only the facts have been changed." His regular column in New Zealand Outdoors, has created a legion of fans and this his second book based around the stories that originally appeared in the pages of the aforementioned magazine can only create more.

Connor lives in the Bay of Plenty, still actively hunting with no thoughts of retirement either from hunting or writing.
