The Big Pig Hunt

The Big Pig Hunt follows a high school student on a possum and pig hunting trip with his father ­ ending with his shooting his first pig.

There is a strong emphasis on firearms safety, some discussion on the ethics of hunting, and a look at the ecological damage caused by possums and pigs.

The book appeals to boys, particularly rural students in areas where hunting is part of the way of life.
