More than 40 hunters young and old geared up for a hunting competition to shoot up funds for the Kaihere School parent teacher association. The fundraiser was held between May 12 and 14 with deer, pigs, hares, rabbits, possums, rats, mice and magpies weighed-in by the Thames Valley Deerstalkers Association.
