toolebox 1,384 Posted November 3, 2020 Author Report Share Posted November 3, 2020 (edited) 3 days in hospital ,the dogs were not the only ones on the receiving end of a boar .Porky lay in wait after I used the knife and as I reached down he made his moved and he very nearly bit the end of my finger off ,looking down and seeing the bone sticking out and the fresh hanging buy a bit of skin ,makes one value the dog patch up kit we always carried .A quick patch up job and a few hours and pigs later as a after thought I called into a small town to see their Doctor ,who then MADE me turn around & travel back a hour to the hospital ,they are expecting you he said ,I went to comment & he told me to just shut up and go ha ha ha All a huge adventure ,we were not brave, we were just keen and stupid! Just great days relived in our minds now . Edited November 3, 2020 by toolebox 1 Quote Link to post

TOMO 24,836 Posted November 3, 2020 Report Share Posted November 3, 2020 what happened to the other guy from N.Z.... went out there to be a rabbit catcher.....had the alsation crosses....cant remember his name on here...i remember his real name... Quote Link to post
chartpolski 20,365 Posted November 3, 2020 Report Share Posted November 3, 2020 I remember one time reading the adverts in a vets window in Rotaroa and there was an advert for possum cullers. They stayed in a bush cabin, food was provided and they were paid by the tail. It was a job I quite fancied, I was reading a lot of Barry Crump books at the time and had been invited to meet him, it sounded somehow romantic, harking back to a more simple way of life....... I bet in reality it would be a lot harsher ! LOL ! Cheers. Quote Link to post

I call him billyboyo ,real name is billy barton & I know him well .After arriving in NZ he took a small number of jobs including staying on a subantarctic island ,his role was hunting down any remaining rabbits on the island after several poison drops .It was interesting to Billy for the first couple of months but staying in huts ,clothes boot etc still wet from the day before got old but he hung in there for a year when the project ended ,no rabbits were found so it was boring for the two man ,two dog team.He arrived back in nz after making good money that you cant spend down there & took a job with DOC working a trap line 40 miles long .Docs madness took its toll and after a further year he decided to go out into business on his own ,catching rabbits and other pests .We speak offen ,and once or twice a year I travel up to near the lake & mountain where billy & his partner Mary live to exchange rabbit dogs /pups & ferrets .He's involved in breeding welsh Springer spaniels,white GS and working whippets which he imports from Aussie .He's indeed living the dream life ,now who else is keen to come over ? lol Edited November 4, 2020 by toolebox 2 Quote Link to post
