Small in stature big in mind This Maori friend seems so kind His history runs deep and true His bloodlines strong as he knew A hunter of both land and sea His passion was the pigs that be Sugarcane sows were his choice As he called his dogs with a different voice He said they taste sweeter than most A diet of crab and cane from along the coast Their skins shine and his eyes light up As he finishes them off after the fight But this was never done in vain Always used for the gain To feed his family and his friends Help the farmers with their ends He travels far he travels wide He hunts at night he hunts with pride Small in stature big in mind This Maori friend seems so kind........

Pig hunting is very popular up here in the north but this is the only fella I know who makes the most of his hunts .......For Steve
Hi Lily ....... I have no inclination either but am inspired by this guys desire to hunt for the right reasons ...........appreciate your thoughts ..... regards Nu
Hunting to feed your family and friends is a necessity whereas hunting just for the sport of it I despise - especially big game hunters for ivory tusks, lions, tigers, etc. etc. What a kind man to hunt to feed others as well as his own family. Thanks Nu for sharing different aspects of life in Australia!
Hi Kathy....... I feel the same .......unfortunately these are feral pigs that breed like wildfire and destroy native animals ,plants and not to mention ruin farm crops ....... the farmers actively engage in seeking people with dogs to eradicate them from their properties . Thanks for your thoughts regards Nu
