We had some rather understated Buddhist / artist friends who lived back 5 miles in what is now wilderness.
Every year, an author, old  friend of theirs , and his tall, beautiful daughter would camp out by their house, 
while they hunted down and bagged a wild pig each...using only a large knife!
My friends were kinda  horrified for the pig.
