    go the benelli mate i give my one shit all year drop it in mud throw it on the back of quads never once has it jammed or failed to fire, had a rem 11/87 before this one and although they are not as reliable and need reg cleaning are still great semi's. my mate wore his browning gold hunter out after two seasons and now has a benelli with no problems. our professional deer cullers only use the benelli nowadays on goats, chamios and deer out of choppers with a m16 for the longershots, and these guys go through alot of ammo each year. :hunter:

    i go to quite a few comps during the year, i enter a few and sometimes help out with the judging, it's good as ya get to catch up on all the gossip and meet guys and girls from allover the country, the comps are huge in regards to keeping the general public on side as hunting like rugby is a big part of being a kiwi, though having 1/4 the population freshly imported don't help matters lol they freak right out. there is at least two comps on most weekends so if ya guys want i will post up some more photo's as the winter comes on.

    with the cooler weather now here the hunting competions have started up this is one of our local ones in hamilton,which is an open comp pigs,deer and fish.we have these sort of things every weekend all over the country with good prize money and prize's this comp had four 44mag rifles up for grabs. wanted to get some shots of the rails full of game but the camera batt shit itself before half the animals were weighed in. the final tally was thirty odd deer and about sixty boars the biggest being 118kg and 102kg the hooks on a 99kg went over 3inches with good bases, sorry i could get a shot of the winning pig dam camera

    they taste alot different than the tame pig ian, more of a game taste to it, this lot came of a block of bush where duroc x's have been introducded to increase size and add fresh blood. the two patchie boars have thrown to the red boar and the black sow is of the common colour. we usally release the sows but the dogs chewed her up abit too much and she would have died in the heat had we cut her loose.

    i know how big these european boars get up too, i hunt with an ex serbian game keeper and he has explained the methods used both in the former yugoslavia and hungrey. the type of dog he used was a small type of dog that bailed exactly the same way he is now doing over here, a type of dachund and jagd terriers, he has told me how they have used airedale terriers and hounds as well, he has said that the pig we have in nz is very similar to the wild boar and in areas where the feed is good can get up to some impressive weights well over the 200lb mark. like deer the feed is the key to getting a good trophy, not every boar is a 400lb monster and most of the big ones he has shoot he has feed up for a number of years.

    ya don't need those bloody elephants, anything with half bully will hold just make sure you use a pair and not a single dog on it's own. your lurchers should be able to stop them once they learn to find them,{ a bit of bailing a tame pig in a sty will give them a head start or if ya know someone with some half grown piglets let them chase and bail them up. ya only need to do it a few times and they soon get idea. i don't think them wild boar would be to big if they only been released recently those 300lb+ boars do take a while to grow, 4 to 5 years. :)

    true mate 40 degree heat is not nice, i have hunted in queensland a couple of times and i know about the heat. i think the biggest difference is the type of hunting we do 12 hr missions on foot up and down hills in the cold is alot different from letting loose the dogs off the back of a tray top once a mob is spotted, we work alot harder for our pigs where the hunting skill of the dog is the difference between getting a pig or just having a nature walk. i did enjoy the hunting in oz don't get me wrong just compared to here it was bloody easy. no carring out the pigs was a change lol
