THE STALKERS' PARADISE
STEWART ISLAND AS A DEER PARK.
(Feom Our Own Correspondent.) INVERCARGILL, May 1. It is now some years since deer were first liberated on Stewart Island, and many followers of tho stalking sport have waited anxiously for this seaiwn, when the Southland Society decided to issue licenses. Messrs Tanner apd Ufield, who have been deerstalking in the North Island for tho past 20 years, have just arrived in Invcrcargill after a visit to the island. They bring excellent reports regarding the herd. Tliesc stalkers think that the island is tho finest deer park they have ever seen, and full of magnificent specimens. All the deer, they state, are well grown ami good conditioned. The heads they also thought were magnificent. In every way the visitors were greatly struck with tho possibilities of the island in this direction, although they do not believe that anything in the nature of heavy shooting should be allowed for a few years. Carefully watched, Stewart Island. should be one of the best parks in Australasia before long, declared Mr Tanner.
