Thread: The Show Must Go On - Seven Mill Sika Safari

Well as @Tahr has stated we just spent the last five days in the Kawekas seeking the elusive Sika eight point stags, man the Duely's make it look easy!

Here's my attempt at a story, in pictures and video.

Yep. Reality is vastly different! :-)

Looks like nice spot and great times spent with your dad. Sika are on the bucket list

Thats some nice weather Craig.

I've not been up there. Usually I'm deep in the bottom of a valley with the bush hobbits, although one of our roar blocks has some very large lovely tussocky parts.

Love all the pictures although on rural broadband they don't load instantly, still in the light of what else is going on in the world its nothing.

Thanks for sharing

Great vid again Craig makes me a bit homesick

Great trip, your dog looked a bit cold when you were glass in the open stuff. Those eight's can be hard to get alright.

And @Tahr wont be able to leave home from now on according to Jacindas directive. Would like to see that being policed

That was nice. Loved seeing the dogs, it adds so much to a trip. I have been unable to work with dogs for a few years now, it's not the same trips anymore.

that second picture down is awesome, 3 pairs of eyes all on the same wave length. priceless..

Yeah, I like that pic too. Its my best side.

The combined age of those eyes is 93. And the Visla is blind in one

Looks like you saw a few. Just no 8s ay. Did you do any bush hunting or just all tops and glassing? I also got quite excited by the frypan pictures Nice wee vid Craig. I enjoy them. Thanks

Pretty much stuck to the open country, anytime we were in the bush we were mainly moving between spots. I only really hit the bush when the stags are vocal.
