Martinborough deer hunting season opening disappoints - 1908

Wanganui Herald, 25 April 1908

Deer Stalking.

MASTERTON, April 25. Deer stalking has received an impetus this season by the throwing open of a new reserve in the neighbourhood of Martinborough. A fair number of heads have bean secured by sportsmen bailing from all parts of the world. - Generally this season's heads are disappointing in that the antlers are thinner than usual. The stags are reported somewhat poorer in condition this season, a fact generally attributed to the prolonged drought previous to the first week of April.
