The Rural Voice, 1979-05, Page 32The great
boar hunt
With the hunting season in Ontario over
for the last five weeks, passers by could be
excused if they raised their eyebrows when
two men and a hunting dog disappeared
into the bush between Seaforth and
Brucefield, Wednesday morning April 4
When they came out, a short time later,
they had rounded up a boar, which they
proceeded to load into to a pick-up truck.
The prelude to this event began the day
before when Jan Koene of Bayfield bought
a Yorkshire boar from Bob Robinson of
Walton.
The boar loaded and all business
transactions completed, the happy owner
drove home, only to discover that he had an
empty truck when he proceeded to unload
his prize.

could see no trace of the boar anywhere.
Arriving back at the Robinson farm, Bob
phoned an ad in to the weekly papers, and
a request for help to the Wingham radio
station CKNX.
This call came on the air the next
morning and was picked up by an
unidentified man, driving west of Seaforth.
While still listening he saw the boar
