Waimarino pig hunt sees small weigh-in
Over Labour Weekend the Waimarino Pig Hunting Club held its annual pig hunt with prizes to the value of $2200 up for grabs as well as $150 prize money for the children 's section. A good crowd turned out on Monday for the weigh-in. The children' s section was well supported with good entries of possums, eels and rabbits but the senior section did not fare so-well. Twenty-three member teams went out all weekend with only four boars and fi ve sows weighed in, the pigs had the last laugh if the hard luck stories circulating are to be believed. The club extended thanks to Trevor from the Ruapehu Hotel for his generous donation and support towards the hunt.
