Sika Secrets 'Calling in rutting Stags' 2024

[@CrazyAboutFlyFishing]

Timely tips for the roaring. Heading out for my first roar. 6 days and only me and my bow. Hope I can just get one in range. Thanks for all the videos. Much appreciated. Learned a heap.

[@Dutchie1978]

As always, great video. Thank you for the tips. Got my AJ caller last year after watching your videos for the past few years.

[@BackridgeButcher]

Awesome mate, where are you heading for the roar??

[@Dutchie1978]

Te Urewera for the Reds and then Kaimanawa’s for Sika 👍🏻

[@kroadie3936]

We knew it would be a success, we just never expected the rut to take off so quickly”. BRB And right now you are right on target.

[@BackridgeButcher]

Cheers mate, April is almost here!! Can't bloody wait!

[@pt4036]

great video Glen look forward to some stags in the future

[@BackridgeButcher]

Thanks PT, almost that time of the year 🎉

[@nzbakerman]

fantastic video Glenn ,great footage form the game cameras

[@gregwells8764]

looks like a great green season , after a few dry ones. looking forward to seeing what you guys get up to this roar. best of luck for a successful one

[@BackridgeButcher]

Cheers Greg, excitement levels are building!! Not long to go now!

[@samjoblin1542]

Nice work mate!! Did alot of miles in that country doing possums for ospri. few years back now but before the aerial drops.

[@BackridgeButcher]

See any descent heads during your travels??

[@samjoblin1542]

Yeah was usually crashing and bashing around not to worried about spooking deer but yeah the odd half decent one. That one use missed was pretty good for that area a

[@AJProductions-films]

Another top video Glenn. Best of luck for the Sika Rut.

[@BackridgeButcher]

You to mate, hope have your camera charged and ready to record!!

[@reuben.jane01]

Awesome tips Glen...i think you are spot on with your calling tips. Mews and soft calls have proved far more successful for me than single calls especially when in the zone. Great stag to kick off 2024 As for the rain i think it levels the playing feild in the bush and tips the odds in our favour. If you can put up with getting wet its a great time to be in the thick stuff. 5 of the last 6 sika i have shot have been in the rain.

[@BackridgeButcher]

Cheers mate, we get asked so often by new hunters for advice hunting rutting stags, that we decided to try and offer some help. They can be such frustrating animals when anyone first starts hunting them

[@reuben.jane01]

@@BackridgeButcher well ya nailed it I reakon

[@ethanstilwell8891]

Awesome stuff. Can't wait to get amongst it soon. April can't come quick enough...

[@BackridgeButcher]

The anticipation is almost as good as the event!! Bring it on!!

[@sikahill]

Nice vid and stag dude Jeez the roar started early this year , a full month away from the traditional peak , but then again ,I did hear my first hee haw on 10 February this year 😮

[@BackridgeButcher]

They seriously won't peak until mid April as per normal mate. Plenty start he-hawing during March leading up to the big dance

[@nomez2230]

Mean video BRB. Topman for the tips. I'll give them a go this rut see how I get on...

[@BackridgeButcher]

Awesome mate! If you're out there, you have to be in with a chance

[@BlacksheepMediaNZ]

Great work mate. You owe Red that stag :) Best of luck getting it

[@BackridgeButcher]

Thanks mate, he's one lucky stag, a bit of a needle in a hay stack finding him now, who knows where he will rut! (We will certainly try our best, though)

[@sandcontour]

Great advice

[@scottverschuuren3182]

Bloody good video mate, where do you get that blue meat safe ?

[@BackridgeButcher]

A mate gave it to us over 10 years ago. Unfortunately, I've no idea where he got it, sorry (it's bloody handy)

[@bluurzibluurzii7550]

[@BackridgeButcher]

It was off the shelf from GunCity Napier, I'm not 100 percent sure if they still have that model, it's extremely nice to carry and shoot

[@Matt-ze2xc]
