A pig hunter has been rescued in Bay of Plenty. Rescuers have braved high winds and driving rain to fly a hypothermic pig hunter out of Lake Rotomahana in the Bay of Plenty. The 42-year-old Rerewhakaaitu man was reported missing after he was separated from his hunting party in heavy rain on Sunday afternoon. Police searchers found him in an area above a series of precipitous bluffs at about 10:15am this morning. He had to be evacuated by helicopter because of his worsening condition and the inclosing weather.
