Pigs, possums, rabbits and snapper were on the menu for our young hunters, and what a great haul they all brought in.
Results: 25 pigs were weighed in, which was over 700kg of pork, 300kg of possums and about 30 rabbits. It is great that the kids involved have the ability to go out and do their bit for the environment while enjoying doing something worthwhile. The Whitianga Pighunters Club would like to thank all our sponsors who supported this event, without them it wouldn’t have been such a success.
Sponsors: Thank You to Andrew from The Stunned Mullet, Okawa, Hunting and Fishing Whitianga, The Warehouse Whitianga, Sea Cave Adventures, Farm Source Kopu, Lady Admin and the Coroglen Tavern. We all know it’s quite hard for businesses at the moment, so remember to support the locals. Finally, a huge thankyou to the Whitianga Pighunters Club members who worked hard to once again make it such a great success. Thank you to the Coroglen staff and everyone involved.
The Winner Heaviest pig went to 7-year-old Harper Goodlet with her 49.9kg pig. Harper is one of our junior members and her dad is a senior member. This was Harpers first hunt with dogs. She was so excited that she had won that she took the trophy to school to show everyone. The trophy was especially carved for the Club by a local lady whittler and was presented to Jack Munroe, since passed, for all his work he had done for the club as a member over the years. He then donated it to the club as the trophy for Take a Kid Hunting. See you all again next year.
