In a past life I culled pigs at waimaha Barry early 2000s heck there was big pigs in there.

]ohh yes Waimaha was over run there for awhile after the aerial shoot we did a number of week long runs ground hunting goats to mop up-must have been late 90,s me culling mate Allen and I worked a cunning plan we would do a week leave a week and go back - one week we shot 10 pigs and the Manager asked us to knock the number we shot back a bit the shepherds were complaining - after looking in the chiller I could see why - we had 10 and there was one other little one in there - but Allen shot one good boar later weighed at 210 lb - I was crawling along a pig track out the back of Huia in the fern and just in front of my nose was a huge set of fresh boar prints that had ne nervous - one old boar on the big ridge above Waimaha wanted a piece of me one day - he looked in poor nick so left him alone but played with him for 10 mins he would jump up and down and grunt clash his tusks and stand his ground about 50 yards away - I would say to him try anything and I will shoot ya - more gnashing and chomping - eventually he moved of - I would not have liked to have met that bugger in the dark - great days - I have a 36 1/2 inch billy from Huia still on my garage wall

Amazing!! Might need to leave them be for now. Let numbers go up. Nice meat. Going to be great!!

Jeez, any more than that hopping through and the things would be skin and bone... Having said that, there must be enough tucker there to support them at the moment if they are in those sort of numbers. I'd say the bush would be - skinny, though.

Says video is private for me?

Same

Was fine yesterday, so I think someone didn't want the world looking at their farm. Suffice to say there were shit tones of deer on the move.
