Jake Whyte Pig Hunter | J D Crouchley

Jake Whyte has always loved being out in nature. Growing up with a single mum in a small town means money's tight, but when he discovers an injured piglet while out for a run one day, he gets an idea for how he might be able to help put food on the table.

Jake teaches himself to hunt, pushing himself to learn the skills it takes to survive in the wild and discovering a love for the sport he wasn't expecting. But not everything can be learnt from a book. Jake's stoked to be invited hunting with the Marshalls, especially if it gives him a chance to get closer to the gorgeous Georgie, but will he be able to put up with Bevan who has intimidated him since kindergarten?
