Here’s the weekend wrap up in long form. I’ll post an abbreviated version as well. Distance and weather had a huge impact on our hunters, but wow did they produce some mighty results.
Saturday saw just one TEAM, Steady’s Mob, present a One Hunt Load, at 230kg, but Dion Boothby, lead the SOLO One Hunt Load charge with a 326.1kg haul.

9 Hunters presented on the day with a total of 21 hogs. Heaviest boar at the end of day 1 was David Foley’s 82.6kg whopper. Close behind was Dion Boothby’s 72kg offering. Saturday’s heaviest Sow was Neil Baines big girl @ 77kgs.

Again Dion followed with a good size 58kg Sow. Dion might have thought he was in the money in a big way at this stage, but Sunday was a whole new ballgame. Sunday gave us what both the crowd and the boar hunters wanted. HUNTERS TEAM dropped 5 hogs @ 301kg, STOOGES loaded up four for 199.55kg, and SLIP SLAYERS also had 4 for 221.45kg. But the load that won the day dropped 23 hogs for a massive 1035.45kg.

TEAM DUGARDE was on fire and the assembled crowd loved the spectacle of hogs loaded like sardines on a rack. 37 hogs were presented for Sunday, but the daddy of them all was a massive boar from Adrian De Pauw . His 93kg Comp winning monster is destined for the taxidermist but Tevin Waerea’s 87kg Boar was a worthy challenger for Runner Up on the weekend.

Top Sow was huge 81.5kg winner from Tim Cherry with Neil Baines’ Saturday Sow Runner Up at 77kg. THE STOOGES got top hooks @ 170mm, with Tim Cherry Runner up on 147mm. Great sportsmanship shown here. Anthony Dugarde got lucky with one of his hogs hitting nearest the pin for the 46kg MYSTERY WEIGHT, and the kids loved the novelty events of an out and back obstacle course and a Gobble Guts eating comp.

Top effort from all competitors, spectators and sponsors. Special mention must go to Jesse Farr of Bristle Up Magazine, who assisted with weighing and dumping nearly every hog in the comp. greatly appreciated.

In all 58 pigs were presented over the weekend, for a massive 3999.95kg on the hook. Results only version of this info to follow with Sponsors’ credits. So check out today’s unofficial pics.
