A Passion for Pig Hunting

Firstly I would like to express my gratitude to my partner and best friend Sheryl for her skill with the camera. Many of the photos in this book where taken by her and they speak as loudly as any word that I could ever write. And thank you for understanding and most impotantly sharing my love of the bush and the sea.

There is another person that I wish to acknowledge. My good friend Richard Burnett. I'ves lost count of the hunts we've shared, but regardless of the outcome they have always been great times, shared with a true and special friend. May there be many more.

Finally I would like to dedicate the book to Patch. An honest Pig Dog, good mate and fantastic with the family. You won our hearts. Rest easy my friend.

"Thirty-four stories of pig hunting adventure based on the personal experiences of the author. Good hunts, great hunts, and tragic hunts, all are the lot of this dedicated pig hunter. Superbly illustrated with colour photographs by the author and his partner Sheryl (a talented professional photographer)

From the dense bush of the central North Island to the wide open spaces of the South Island, the author has been chasing pigs with a dedication and success that few can equal."
