Sika Hunting | Northern Kaimanawas | Ruatea Stream 'Jap Creek' | Summer 2015

[@RockyGully]

Brings back many memories of my first hunting trip to New Zealand .Put in a lot of leg work for little reward but it was a great learning experience as I was only 19 .

Glad you enjoyed the video mate. That's pretty typical of public land sika hunting.

[@OutdoorsmanDave]

Lovely capture of the hind, thanks for sharing.

Amazing seeing deer in the native beach forest so nice you didn't shoot the beautiful hind deer thumps up with the camera

Cheers bro!

Well done lovely footage ...what camera is that you are using

[@nikmaxwell]

Thanks for the feedback guys! It is a Nikon P600 Ultra Zoom that I have on review Stephen, the zoom is really good but the camera struggles in low light conditions, the autofocus is slow and there is a some lag when you first hit the record button. Overall not a bad camera, but personally I would be taking a look at the new Canon SX60 HS. Cheers, Nik.
