In this informative and entertaining book, Philip Holden, New Zealand's leading hunting writer, provides a unique insight into the nature and habits of the wild pig in Australia. He discusses the introduction of this troublesome pest, its impact on the environment and the attempts to control its spread.
More than just a reference book, however, the text is enlivened by the author's accounts of his hunting adventures as he travels around Australia in search of the wild pig.
The comprehensive appendixes cover such information as preparation of feral pigs for export meat purposes, and the addresses of taxidermists, professional hunting guides and stations offering pig hunting.
