    Wicked sika!!! Wall hanger mate
    I'm drawn to the mountains and the bush, it's where life is clear, where the world makes the most sense.

    Went out in the tight stuff and put this guy on the deck at 9am, was roaring well as were others. Heard a lot of territory calls throughout the day. Have only started to hunt Sika, I'm hooked.

    My first Sika Deer ever, the type of country and stalk for him makes him a great trophy.

    That's a good one for first ever deer .
    Nothing is tough about having a 70 lb bow and looking like an uncoordinated praying mantis while trying to draw it back.

    Good work on your first Jap. Your a keen man to carry it for 3 hours with the head on. Specially through the tight shit.

    Thanks fellas.
    Haha yeah new to sika not to hunting! He was in really good condition just about to skin it now, inches of fat on his belly, so very early days in his rut.
    Dundee, want to get to 5000km before I start putting dings in the wagon!

    Like very much, well done to all!
    I got out for my first walk last night and spooked three hinds nearing the ute, didn't even bother raising the rifle, I don't know who got the biggest fright me or them, they then watched me as I had the wind and I was crouching down. No roars heard at all.
    Off to the mighty south tomorrow into The Sounds staying at Puhoenui I think it is for five nights.
