The Gun is Good: Hunting update

Rural grandmother sort-of admits that her 15-year-old grandson probably shot a pet goat in order to win $100 in a hunting contest; mentions in passing that they've also been helping themselves to the neighbours' geese and ducks; argues that "Captain Stinky" was roaming outside the neighbours' land at the time, so no crime was committed. The police are not convinced.

1. It does not reflect well upon the educational attainment and perceptual acuity of New Zealanders when the 1st Prize in the Rimutaka Sports Bar Labour-Day pig-hunting competition is awarded for a goat.

2. This is going to be the best episode EVAH of "Body Count: New Zealand's Most Violent Neighbourhood Feuds".

"They turned Colonel Stinky
into a sculpture?!"

UPDATE: Bonus New Zealand News.

This is a novel strategy from the English team but at least it has the element of surprise.

You ever open up a wild or feral pig?

You'd WISH for a goat...

I'd wish for more wishes and get a goat with each one. Smart!

I spent some serious unrecoverable time in in the upcountry with a professional hunter named Jim Daum. We killed a three hundred pound pig in the high country north of Pilsbury Lake.

When we gutted that bastard we found a human hand.

Hey, I don't know shit. But in the words of keanu Reeves: Whoa...

"It's quite a hard one because as much as it probably is [Mrs Press-McKenzie's] goat, she can't really prove it."

Do you agree New Zealand is one of the top places in the world to live?

Not if you are a goat.

Pigs no guns here, knife and dogs only. The hand? Well they shallow bury bodies not far from Muriwai so as the pigs clean up the rest, all the rest.
The AB's final humiliation...after the jersey's, and the new haka, and the kowtow to the IRB.
