Shaun and his boars

It's Friday afternoon which means Liz's colleague Shaun will be dreaming of heading off bush tonight for some hunting.
Liz and I aren't hunters, but it's amazing just how many people are. NZ is a great place for hunting as there's so many introduced species that shouldn't be here. Ecologically speaking, hunting deer, boar, pigs, ferrets, rabbits, possums, thar, chamois is a really good thing, assisting native bush and native birds survive.
And Shaun loves hunting boar. He's good too - here's a recent kill. And his colleagues at AgResearch get to enjoy his labour - every so often they have a spit roast. Having experienced the taste of wild boar and wild venison, I can tell you that it's great. Sadly, I'm not around for the next AgResearch spit roast. But I know that Liz will enjoy it.
