Hunters rally for community hall
Wilbur Mee, 2, of Hindon, hunts for his Red Band gumboot after dropping it outside the Hindon hall on Sunday.

Organisers of the Hindon Hall inaugural hunting competition were thrilled with the turnout which attracted 35 team entries and 60 children. The small population with a big heart are rallying together to raise funds to maintain their community hall. Committee member Jo Harris said they were also delighted with sponsorship from local business with prizes including drone spraying, a new chainsaw, meat processing and chilly bins. Farmers worked in isolation which could impact their mental health and having a community hall helped people connect, she said. Teams hunted for wild boar, red deer stag, fallow stag and duck while children bagged hares, possums, rabbits and yabbies. A red deer hind with antlers attached by twine was disqualified. Team Tiznik won the heaviest red stag which weighed in at 152.5kg.

Nominations close on May 27 for this year's Otago Daily Times — Rural Life Rural Champions initiative which is now in its third year, celebrating the South Island's food producing champions. As well as a category championing farmers and growers, there is also a rural service provider category which celebrates those critical to the smooth running of those operations. Last year's Rural Champions were Southland dairy farmers Steve and Tracy Henderson, (pictured above with their children Annie, Gus and Ruby) and Silver Fern Farms Finegand plant manager Bronwyn Cairns.
