This was to be the second hunting competition run at Peel Forest and is run as a fund raiser for their preschool so there is a lot of local support behind the scenes as well as on the day. The numbers were down slightly on their last comp which made the judging side a bit easier. The weather was nice most of the day with it coming in cloudy later on. There was the usual pig carrying comp and a lot of activities for the younger children.
