Awards & Reviews
| NZ Review |
An amazing insight into an otherwise unexpected side of the Bush Blokes, their families and friends, and the lifestyle that goes with it all. The cover proudly claims to be aimed at "Young Hunters", and I think that this book will encourage most, deter some, but provoke thought in all who read it, of any age." - From Kiwireviews.co.nz |

Author's Bio
Marion has been surrounded by hunters all her adult life and set out to create a book that will engage hunters and today's youth. She lives in the natural beauty of the Marlborough Sounds, New Zealand, a habitat for wild pigs, deer and hunters. Cor Blimey, Mate comes hot on the heels of Marion Day's successful first book, Cuzzie and Bro, the story of twin piglets.
