It was a festival gathering of 400 people at the end of the Take A Kid Hunting event, a Friday to Sunday weekend organised by the Whitianga Pig Hunting Club. It is also a memorial hunt in memory off Kyla Ngarimu, a young hunter from the area who died from cancer a few years ago.
There is also possum hunting, rabbit hunting, and snapper fishing. The weighing in of everything is something to believe but there is great food, cold beer, generous prizes from the sponsors, and a very welcoming atmosphere of all ages to celebrate the finale of a weekend that reflects the DNA of many citizens of New Zealand.
Well done to this Club and all the parents, grandparents and sponsors who work together to make it possible.
