Thread: Help me find an oinker

pm sent

ebf in answer to your question "what should I be looking for?" I am sorely tempted to say "Pigs" you will know when you see an area where that have been rooting as it will look like Dundee has been in there with a plough. Bush stalking pigs is generally low percentage hunting unless you know where they are coming out to feed around the fringes of a farm land. That said I know a fellah that has an annoyingly good record at it so it can be done.

Round here any large bit of forestry cut over that has been been left for a few years is guaranteed to have pigs in.
Gorse for cover and heaps of rotting logs for grubs for food.
In the native cool wet gullys and areas of braken and fern.

Cheers guys, much appreciated

Pan B is to get some tips from possumer and turn Fred into a pig finding machine probably have to find a miniature tracking collar, coz the little fecker has a mind of his own

Now your talking, does Fred need a mate, I know of a 3yr old foxy that's looking for a new home, male, good with cats stock etc, too much for a young family with another child on the way

Mate you are in Wellington, theres heaps of them in a pen down town......trying to disguise themselves as bees

Yep thats where Ive shot most, good description, Ngamu might be another option be know nout about acess, but must present this type of enviroment down there

them foxys have their own built in tracker haha well mine does anyway. pm me if you wanna chat.

Macca & moonhunt, thanks for the book recommendation. Mrs got it from central library for me, good read

iv seen them up the haurangis and tararuas in the same areas i look for deer, so if you go up there youre likely to find em anywhere.

Now you have to read 'Two dogs and a rifle' -Ken Cuthbertson, the first book written about pig hunting in NZ I think

And if you enjoy a good story any of Reg Carrs books are great, more modern times in northland
