TheWoWDBQuest text should read: "Please help! My people are starving to death! Despite this, we are still extremely picky eaters. No, we don't like that disgusting Shoveltusk Stew you got from the mainland shoveltusks. No, Shoveltusk Flanks won't do at all. It HAS to be the Island Shoveltusk Meat or we're not eating it!"
Also, "there are many shoveltusk on the island and their meat is plentiful"? LIAR!

Horrible quest. The drop rate is low and the mobs are scattered around the island. Did I mention that wolves will kill them instantly some of the time? Or that they sometimes randomly die anyway?
There's a good spot though, south of Kamagua there is a spawn of 6 of them that run around together.
YOU NEED TO KILL THE WOLVES. The wolves kill the shoveltusks, so if u kill the wolves ur gonna not only get spawns but the wolves wont be killin ur mobs.

Description
We tuskarr rely mostly on our fish catch for sustenance. In times of great need, however, we will on occasion hunt land animals. The nearby village of Iskaal was recently attacked by pirates and the survivors just keep pouring in. Our catch has been modest this week, but there are many shoveltusk on the island and their meat is plentiful. Aid my people by hunting these great beasts and obtaining their meat.
