Any one see the news before , they want to rid the island of 3 thousand pigs . That would be a great place to hunt . I'd say the fishing would be pretty good too .

Let any pig hunter in NZ go there any hours any time. That would cut cost. The cost would likely be repairing any shit the rough hunters break
Winter holidays?
Aparently The pigs down there don't squeal when held you need a loud bailer
3000 pigs? how big is the island
I would take a ton of maize and some shooters and a couple of indicating dogs , bait them up when food is tough, too easy
With some money we could be rid of Gareth Meow Morgan!:DQuote:

The Auckland Islands is where I reckon we should release all prisoners to. With 3000 pigs they could even survive for a wee while.
Interesting shape to it
I bet they want to try that new Sodium Nitrate- Wankers

Pigs are too smart for that
Auckland Islands cover 50,000ha

That's only 0.06 pigs per Hectare or 1 pig per 16 hectares of cold, steep, wet, wind swept isolated country.
And no roads to drive the Hilux around on ;)
Could be hard hunting.
The fishing won't be much better either ...... gotta go 12Nms off shore before you even allowed to get your line wet.
Cheers
Pete
No where near Auckland ?? Bloody weirdos
Farrk that no fishing count me outQuote:

Thinking of us poor tax payers and cutting the cost to what's obviously bloody sharp Mates Rates. ;)
Although I can't see many trees to keep your Tub or anything else for that matter warm with.

Yep that's more than 50% and not a cent to the toxin company
That would employ people, retail can make a bit in sales, maybe even set up a processing plant and feed some folks
Generous offer Moonhunt, how the hell could the government possibly turn you down.Quote:

They don't consider anything logical , I have been watching how big boys play lately with the motorway going through ours, you would think money was printed at will
Ive been flat out Rushy... haven't had time to sit down and spend any time on here.... and even now is just a quick stop in before I head to Taupo and to hasting in the morning.
Got time for a quick hunt up Clements Mill on the way through?Quote:

WHat you heard was the usual level of incompetent reporting that is common by news agencies nowadays. In my day, those self adulating, personality promoting dumbos would never have been allowed within 100 feet of a microphone.Quote:

Why Oh Why do we have to put up with this ongoing incompetence.
Culling the Pigs and Goats is one thing ...but culling Mice..... that's an entirely different proposition.Quote:

Mine does, carry's rabbits bigger than himself
Your cat must be one of those "Attack Cat's" Gareth is banging on about to have to keep it on a leash.Quote:

Hope your cat has been through and passed the kiwi Aversion training ;)
