Altough tjiis season all over New Zealand the results of stalkers as regards heads are disappointing, the parties who entered South Westland secured some notable trophies, and that despite the fact that the stalkers went in somewhat too early as the rut was fully ten days later than the previous year. The reason is assigned to the wet period experienced which delayed the clearing of velvet on stag horns, a factor in mating. A seventeen pointer was taken at the head of the Clarke river, the first head brought out of that locality. The beast in question was shot right under the Hooker Glacier. Captain .Mallet- (England) obtained a line fourteen pointer head in Howes Creek, llurkc County. Mr •Tohn Deans, of Canterbury, secured a wide ten pointer (4G inches') in the Landshorough and some Wellington stalkers bagged nice trophies in the Wells Valley. Deer were not numerous in the Landshorough and head of the Clarke river. The deer are in fine condition and feed is plentiful both in the hush and along the river flats. Stalkers are already enquiring for blocks in South Westland where it is believed the best deer stock are now located. If the season is opened again applications will he called for the blocks and a ballot take place where necessary. During the interval some new country will be traversed hv the culling party to ascertain the advisability of adding some fresh country to that to he allotted by blocks. The block system is said to have worked out very sntisfactorilv this season.
