It’s a fantastic feed year for Sika

In the hut book at Maropea Forks in 1974 Chris Satherley was bemoaning an entry by Jim Warren about his river trip form Otukota to Maropea Forks as Warren had commented he had seen 9 deer and had taken some nice fotos of animals he had seen. . Warren had established a reputation of excellent photography skills. Satherley was compaining how many deer he had actually shot.Warren got some very high tallies.

I had the pleasure of hunting with Jim in the Ruahines early in my hunting career maybe 15 years ago, at the time I didn't know of his reputation and of course he didn't say much about it either. After reading books about the old days it started to add up and I certainly learnt a thing or two that day. He certainly knew where to find the deer
