I used to hunt bushpig with a gang of lads in the Greytown/New Hanover area in KZN a few years back. The one lad ran a pack of hounds and success rate in the sugar cane and tree plantations in that area was phenomenal.
If I recall they shot over 300 pigs in one year.
The guys could buy whatever was shot at a nominal per/kg cost, and the proceeds went towards feeding and maintaining the dogs, and of course vet bills!
You had to be fit!
