Destruction of Pigs
The extent of the assistance given to farmers in the back country of Central Taranaki by the destruction of wild pigs by hunters can be gauged from the number of snouts and tails on which bounties were paid by the Department of Agriculture at Stratford during 1946. The total number handed in by hunters working in the Whangamomona, Stratford, Eltham and Inglewood counties during the year was 4859. Of that figure, 4440 were killed in the Whangamomona County.
