Huntin' Hog: Continuing a Hunting Legacy By Peter J. Firmin

Peter Firmin grew up listening to the hunting stories of this father and grandfather. His grandfather, Harry, and father John were legendary hunters in the Whanganui district. Living in back country Whanganui and with role models like his father and grandfather it is no surprise that he too became a dedicated hunter. Easy when the hunting started at the front gate and he was surrounded with thousands of acres of prime hunting for deer and pigs. Peter developed his skills and hunting prowess as he grew up hunting with "the Old Man" and on his own. This is not your normal hunting book, it is more than a look back into our recent past to the last of "the good old days." It's also about growing up in a hunting tradition and continuing a hunting legacy.
