Check out Martin Askes Sika deer hunting information on his website, very well written and easy to understand.
Click on the pdf links and print them all off, store in a folder and read them as your experience grows, there is literally 30yrs of Sika hunting experience being passed on there, for free !!!!!!!!
This link will take you there
New Zealand Outdoor Hunting Magazine - Supporting hunters for over 70 years!
I've read a few of his articles, they're very good.
Hopefully he colates them into a book!
Excellent articles 7mmsaum, big thanks, i need stuff like this!
Just downloaded them all, I think I have most of the magazines anyway, but this is like a mini bush stalking encyclopedia. Some great info in these articles.
Rod and Rifle do the same with the Wapiti Blockss and Westland Areas:
Resources » Rod & Rifle » The Magazine For Hunting & Fishing Fans
Thanks Andrew, i had forgotten about them, have saved all to drive for printing later. Cheers.

Richie here is the Rushy condensed version which you can copy to a square of toilet paper so it will have a dual use in the bush.Quote:

Or the ol brain forgot some of it and I'm kidding myself that I have only just learnt it :)
Just think how much i will learn in 5yrs time when i read it again :)
They are a good read alright , got me started with the Barnes TTSX havnt looked back
Bugger it looks like they have updated the website and the articles are gone! Could anybody please send me the PDFs about using the electronic callers?
The website is showing its article archive is being updated as we speak, perhaps a few emails will hurry them along :)
Plenty of forum members saved the pdf files, perhaps a link could be put up here (or in a new thread) as it is excellent info.
Not for me
Not for me either, bummer. This was the link I was looking for.
