Support the future of the Central North Island Sika herd
The Sika herd is one of the most highly regarded hunting resources in New Zealand, and in the world. Protecting its quality doesn’t happen by chance. It takes active management, sound research, and boots-on-the-ground work. That work is only possible with support from hunters who care about the future of Sika hunting in the Central North Island.
