A man and his dogs

A man and his dogs

Otago pig hunter Kim Hiko walks his dogs through a paddock where pigs have been rooting. Farmers get angry at the damage that pigs do to their pasture. Larger boars are also known to prey upon young lambs. Many farmers are happy to allow hunters access across their land as long as they ask first.
