I've just returned from 4 nights hunting sika deer on public land in the Kaweka Mountains. Sika are a small deer originally from east Asia that have been release in the center of the North Island.
Here are some iPhone photos of my trip:
Amazing sun rise while approaching the roaring deer
Early morning views
Sika wallow
Where he lay
Unfortunately the top point was broken
Ready for a special pick up a few days early so I could get the head into the fridge
