NZDA National Office is heading to the Sika Show at Mystery Creek this weekend, Saturday 7 and Sunday 8 November. You’ll find us at site 173.
We’re running two stand competitions over the weekend, so swing by and have a go at guessing the Douglas Score of the head on display and the number of casings in the jar. There are some great prizes up for grabs, including an NZDA bino harness and an R&N Blade knife. Entry is quick and done on your phone by scanning the QR code at the stand.
Our volunteers will be on site all weekend and are keen to have a yarn, whether you’ve got questions about membership, your local branch, or just want to talk hunting. Anyone in an NZDA t-shirt is fair game, so come and say hello.
A big thank you to our team of Douglas scorers, who will be scoring heads for the Sika Show head competition. It’s a lot of work over a busy weekend and we really appreciate it. If you’re planning to enter a head, make sure it’s in before 2pm on Saturday 7 November. Entered heads will be on display, so they’re well worth a look even if you’re not entering.
If you’ve been out after goats, don’t forget the Department of Conservation will be taking tail entries for the National Wild Goat Hunting Competition at their site. Bring your tails along.
We look forward to seeing you there.
