Hey does anyone know of any areas in auckland that have pigs in it that are available for hunting. I know riverhead has small numbers of pigs but if you know any other areas would be appreciated. Thanks.

Auckland has wild pigs ???
Got to love these first up posts asking for magic spot X hunting spots.
Boarslayer101, the small DOC reserves are culled by contractors, the Regional Parks don't allow hunting except by ballot only for Hunuas (Waitakeres are done by contractors only) and the rest is private land (ie Riverhead), so unless you can arrange access with the owners/forest security, good luck.
Come for walk after dark, there are plenty out there, lots of mutton dressed as lamb too if you prefer :ORLY:Quote:

Gotta be some in the Waitakeres? Lots of trees:thumbsup:
I've encountered guys pig hunting in the Waitaks a couple of times. With dogs, without firearms.
Give the man a break guys, at least he asked.
Cheers Guys, Im only 14 so cant go pig hunting quite yet by myself but was checking in case i end up getting dogs soon. Ive also seen guys hunting in riverhead with dogs and one group of guys with a average size sow on there back so theres definately some there.Thanks again. ;)
Yep, those blokes in Riverhead are mates with the Forest Security. I see them regularly too.Quote:

Plenty of guys who might be willing to take you out for hunt, so stay a regular forum member, tell us more about you etc and see what happens.
This time of year is tricky, as many hunters are away in the bush chasing after deer.
Must be a pig hunters club up there somewhere ? , Ignore the arseholes on this sight and just keep asking , its all about who you know at your age .
Good luck .
a polite inquiry for an invitation for a hunt in the Warkworth area might be the go
