Sika Roar Hunt

[Kiwi]

I've just returned from 4 nights hunting sika deer on public land in the Kaweka Mountains. Sika are a small deer originally from east Asia, and have been release in the center of the North Island.

Here are some iPhone photos of my trip:

Yes, it's a great way to travel. The chopper picture was when my sika head got an early trip out. I called the chopper pilot and asked if he could pick it up if he was passing by . Wanted to get it in the fridge as early as possible.
