We live in Whitianga, one of our lads at works dad's used to bowl the odd red up the 309 back in the 90's, long since been clear of them though. There's been a few escapees from our local deer farms...

Rosco, yeah we were using the new card as well as number 2. It's a hell of a single call! When my buddy was closing in I was still replying with the one you recorded but had turned the volume down a...

It was an awesome trip, it was always about learning for us this trip. Finding our feet on public land chasing what are arguably the hardest deer to stalk. Can see why people froth over the Sika...

Before reading please note we are relatively new hunters nearly in our 40’s, we are learning by getting out there and beating our feet. Basically most of what we know comes from other peoples Youtube...

Just got home, plenty of roaring action each day, continuous through the whole day as well even with a HeliSika chopper running above us a few times. At one point had 4 animals around us single...

Rosco, cheers for that. Do you think it’s got anything to do with an imbalance between stag and hind numbers? Was listening to a podcast with Cam Speedy talking about the Sika herd, was mentioned...

Thanks bud, will report back here once we are out of the bush. Going in for an adventure, animals on the deck are a bonus. Looks like she will be fairly cold nights for us in the tent, in an ideal...

Cheers man, looking forward to getting in. Hearing mixed experiences from people, sounds like there’s a fair bit of roaring overnight then going quiet once the suns up. Who knows what we will find...

Cheers for that, sounds nicer than I was expecting. How did you get on? We were hoping opening of duck season would pull some of the crowds away from the bush ��

Anyone been into the Kaipo/Tikitiki/Cascade area recently?

I'm heading in for 5-6 nights fly camping tomorrow. Just wondering what the ground condition is like in there at the moment? Crunchy...

I love going in solo, 2 people tend to make 3 times the noise as 1 person solo does. Always carry a PLB and now an inreach as well. I love the feeling of isolation, it goes a long way to delete any...

Thats bloody good news, still in the same area? I spent a couple hours in the Upper Kaipo at labour weekend listening to them barking moving around a bench, hoped to get a shot at them but never...

Anyone heard updates about these dogs in the last month or so? Thought we would have heard if they were still around from people in there for the roar.

Went in last weekend, stags on a farm that backs onto the Kaimais were going off their rocker. Didn't hear anything in the bush, found a recently used wallow though which was encouraging

Cheers for the info Barry. So seeing as I've seen hinds last couple of weekends it sounds like it will be the area to start.

Have managed to tip over a couple of Sika at close quaters bush...

Being quite new to hunting I have a question about animal movements someone here may be able to help with.

I have been beating the feet exploring the bush in the Kaimais, have seen plenty of sign...

Hi if you read this post,

I’m based on the Coromandel Peninsula, have recently been introduced to hunting after 35 years of being an avid fisherman.
Started with dogs and knives chasing pigs...
