The odd one or two or do you follow them round the country? Looks like a great way to get out and see a bit Quote Link to post Share on other sites

kiwi 4 Posted April 23, 2005 Author Report Share Posted April 23, 2005 lesson #1 when catching mr boar always bite the round bits at the back first this should sit mr boar right down and keep you away from the sharp end. :aggressive: Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kiwi 4 Posted April 23, 2005 Author Report Share Posted April 23, 2005 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.

Kane 2 Posted April 23, 2005 Report Share Posted April 23, 2005 After posting pics like that I think you can expect a few migrants heading your way from this forum.I wish we had that kind of freedom and attitude over here. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
