squealers disappearing in and
out of the grass and bushes.
I dropped my pack and gun and
joined in the chase. I’m always
surprised at how nimble and
agile little pigs are (also how
unfit and out of shape I am).
Before long we were both puffing
hard and gave up on that. Paul
explained he had been looking
for a suitable spot to take care
of business and had just about
stood on a mob of pigs asleep
in the shade in a stand of
eucalypts. The mob had
comprised of a couple of young
sows, a big sow, some young pigs,
maybe about half a year old, and
the squealers which I had seen.
They all took off at half pace,
waiting for the youngest pigs.
Obviously the screaming back
and forth and me crashing
through the brush made them
decide to cut their losses and
they took off leaving the smallest
of their number.

Paul explained

he had just

about stood on

a mob of pigs.”

We laughed our way back to the

car. In the last couple of years of

hunting we struggled to count

more than a couple times one of

us wouldn’t have been within

arm’s reach of a gun. Murphy’s

law. We got back to the car,

I started to get in when I noticed

Paul walking off into the scrub

again. “I still have to ....” he said,

holding up the half roll. “Take a

gun this time” I laughed back.

St ylish yet practical. This season’s must-have accessory for a toilet

break in the bush. Calibre isn’t as important as having one full stop.
