It would be a fairly unlikely place for him to go though, given that everything he does is on his own land (and other areas where he has the owner's permission)

It would be a fairly unlikely place for him to go though, given that everything he does is on his own land (and other areas where he has the owner's permission). He's presumably constrained by the local wildlife and regional laws. In Queensland, Australia where he is based, it's illegal [1] to hunt anything which isn't feral or an invasive species of hare or deer, which are pretty hard to find, especially on small plots like the one he owns.

There are feral pigs in QLD, which have their own hunting culture. We were give a copy of Bacon Busters magazine: http://www.sportingshootermag.com.au/news/new-bacon-busters-out-now-with-our-free-babes-and-boars-calendar http://www.sportingshootermag.com.au/news/new-bacon-busters-.... In it we learned that real men hunt pigs, real real men hunt pigs with a bow, and real real real men hunt pigs with a knife (joking, of course). Kevlar armour can be purchased for your pig dogs (chest and throat). And when you fell your pig, take a photo with a stick propping open it's mouth... unless you have an empty beer can to do the job. But yes, while there are feral pigs in QLD, it's a bit much to expect him to hunt them with a stone-tipped spear just to appease some random naysayer on the internet. I mean, the guy builds a tiled-roof house with chimney and underfloor heating using nothing but the stuff he pulls from the forest by hand, and somehow that's not enough - apparently he has to risk his life attacking a feral pig with stone tools to get 'cred'...
