*pick the brains

What a champion!!! Good on ya mate

What an awesome idea!!! I'd be keen to the brains of some experienced hunters

Hi Scotty, where did you get the old maps from? I'd be really keen to get my hands on a copy

Cheers mate, every little bit helps

Thanks mikee, Sounds like a hunt course is the way to go, maybe i was just being to stubborn wanting to earn the first one myself.

Thats exactly what im doing, just trying to learn as much as i can between hunts as well

Thanks Mooseman, i had my first sika roar last year and coudn't tell you how many i spooked, i think i was a bit early though because no matter how long i waited none of them came in, or their hinds...

Thanks for both your information and help!!!! It sounds like you started the same way as me with being self taught. Anyone can be handed a deer but that's shooting not hunting

Can anyone recommend a good book for hunting sika that has their habits etc?

What do i look for on google earth for likely spots?

Also any good books you would recommend for sika?

Cheers for that, i've learnt to take "clearings" on google early with a grain of salt hahaha. I'll definately have a read, sounds good

Oh thanks for that, i was thinking Tahr hahaha

Thanks Antsman, i didn't realise i didn't have my profile set up properly, cheers for the heads up.
I've mostly been focusing my time in the Kaimanawa's, a mixture of bush hunting and glassing from...

I hadn't even considered Thar

I figure if i can learn to hunt sika other species will be a lot easier after them. Im in it to learn and not just put meat in the freezer, that will come in time.
I know exactly what you mean, i...

Hi guys, been hunting for just over a year so still pretty green on it. Been putting in lots of range time and have developed loads for both my bush and long range guns

Has anyone got any tips /...

Thanks Shearer, i've been spending a fair bit of time around a few area's in the Kaimanawas. Im only new to hunting so figured the best way to learn would be to target sika, i had no idea how smart...

That is true, just trying my luck as all the DOC places i've tried have even been 1080'd or have foot traffic like being in a town
