After 30 years, it was time for a revival of the classic Crown Canopies TV commercial with fishing legend, Bill Hohepa. This time Bill decides to take his grandson, Reese, on a wild boar hunting trip in the NZ bush. Much to the initial bewilderment, and finally amusement of their fellow hunters, the pair capture the animal inside the Crown Canopy (with the help of some canned goods!). Check it out below, guaranteed to make you laugh, and we can confirm no animals were harmed in the making of this commercial…

Bill Hohepa began sharing his fishing knowledge in the 1970s through a weekly newspaper column. That soon grew into an empire of books, television programmes, motivational seminars, and organised fishing tournaments. Bill encourages young people to learn outdoor skills and improve their confidence and self-esteem.
No animals were harmed in the making of this film! “Pickles the pig” was separated during a wild boar hunt from his mother as a small piglet and grew up on a local farm. Pickles proved to be a great cast member. However, difficult at times, and very keen to get his doughnuts after a long shooting day.
