So harry set of on his hunting trip at dunnydoo. When harry finaly arrived he unpacked and set of hunting the first thing that harry saw out there were a mob [group] of kangaroos but that wasn't what harry wanted he wanted a pig or a deer but he couldn't get a deer because they were all shot out.Harry had been out for at least two hours and still didn't see a thing but then harry finally spoted a feral pig with her piglets now harry new that feral pigs are very dangerous and that they do alot of damage to native wildlife. So harry tried creeping up on the pigs but the mum saw him and started to charge at him so then farry ran for his life.
