hunters

A group of teenage pig hunters who had been trekking through the bush around Marokopa spotted them and filmed the brief encounter on their phones.

They are a similar colour to the soil, so require animal hunters to unearth them by tracing their strong scent.

"I think that's what's special about Escape to the Country. These house hunters - you're really rooting for them and it's my job to get their stories out of them," he added.

Thousands of bears have recently been trapped and killed by hunters.

“So yes, I am concerned that these were bounty hunters.”
