Nice video guys! Great place! 👍👍👍

[@LiquidAntler]

Thanks mate, Mike called me once he saw the video and said he had spent some time there.

@@LiquidAntler I’ve been going there for a number of years now but mainly in the summer. I went there in the roar couple of years ago…. Weather was similar!

[@darrellwong4097]

I haven’t seen Mike for a while now… I think since he had his knees replaced.

Yea keen for a summer trip there. Would also be great to walk out to the desert road.

Nice one, thanks for sharing. Did you manage to bring some venison back to NZ?

[@bushhntr848]

Good stuff mate, good to see you back in sika country. did ya bump into or see many other hunters in there on ya trip? cheers

[@LiquidAntler]

Yea great to get back. No other hunters seen in the public over the 6 days. Did spot a few in the distance on private blocks

[@granthughes222]

Sorry, meant, did you bring some venisin back to Brisbane?

[@LiquidAntler]

No i left the meat with mum and dad. Too hard getting back to Australia

[@alishabab3]

Do you just shoot the deers then take the heads? How much meat off them do you take cause it looked like your just left it without taking much.. Also do you cook up any the meat while camping?

[@LiquidAntler]

No boned out the meat and hung it in a tree. The meat just kept as the stag was shot on day 2. Processed and gave it to my parents.

[@greghughson7450]

Good stuff man, what drop off point was that? Te Piri?

[@greghughson7450]

@@LiquidAntler would you go back to that block mate? I’ve been looking at that particular block for years… Would water be an issue if if were periods of fine weather? I was specifically looking @ spring/ summer.

@@greghughson7450 digging up this old thread as I just found this video. There is water at least there, next to an old bivvy site maps.app.goo.gl/sJwhPTHpnLVBAF6u8 It's close to where these guys (and my crew) camped.

[@patstratton6660]

Can't understand why you were hunting that sour tops country as there is no feed there. Should have been lower in the Beech forest. You were not given good advice for sure. Stags can't grow antlers on that crap feed.

[@LiquidAntler]

Hey mate was a last minute decision to chase sika. Not all about big heads but exploring new country and spending time with mates.
