Thread: Anyone looking for pig hunting in Otago?

https://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/wild-b...MKLJ4Y42FPG2A/

Link doesn't work but you have to wonder what the guy was doing in his "garden" late at night
Probably the pig was only after a bit of pain relief

Just went out for a slash saving water seeing its in Otago, got in the escape route of the porker.

I despair a bit reading about the locals' requests for DOC to sort it out and how hard it is to get DOC or anyone else to take ownership ... I had hoped there was still enough "No.8 wire mentality" left in rural NZ that the community would just quietly sort it out themselves. Or, if needed, an informal community meeting at the school hall or pub to get the majority on board, send out a couple of pig hunters with dogs, and next weekend a community dinner with roast pork.

its rumoured the greenies are organising vegan counselling for the pig.

Every shitty, lifted,bald tyred, hilux and surf will be at the pub from Friday arvo.

workmate got a big boar on tarrs golf course a few years back,dogs bailed it against roadside barrier rail,he was shitting himself a car would come n clean them all up. it ended well for all but the pig LOL.

We only get big boar's in tarras mate

I do believe land owners in Otago are required to control pests on their own property. I know the reginal council is always after the lowborn lifestyle blockers and such for failing to do it. Not sure if pig are considered pests though.

Pigs aren't listed as pests in the Otago Regional Council RPMP except for at 3 site-specific places near Dunedin.

There is an interview with the guy on RNZ. Sounds like the pigs in the area have lost all fear of humans and are just roaming the streets. I don't think anyone in St Bathans (all 6 of them) owns a gun.
