Description
In the wild there is an element that cannot be seen, tasted, heard or smelt – it can only be felt, and it is a feeling of enchantment.
After his first hunting experience in New Zealand as a young man, Richard Hall has been drawn back again and again, wanting to relive the feeling only this country’s wilderness can give him. Dark Forest Deep Sea goes beyond recollections of one man’s hunting trips. It delves into the emotions and sensations at the heart of the experience, and the reasons for doing it.
From catching eels in a river on a moonlit night to spearfishing on a single breath
in the Pacific Ocean to stalking deer in silent forests – scientist Richard Hall reflects on both solitude and mateship, our relationship with landscape and nature, and how the wilderness gives
him what he needs to live in the world. This is the human story of hunting.
