Meeeeeeeeee-aahhhhhh…its that time of year coming up again!
That’s a Sika single call for those of you who haven’t heard one before. Be it Wapiti, Red, Sika or Fallow, it’s the roar we all look forward to every year!
The boys got a Wapiti block this year, so I’ll be tagging along with them unless I get a better offer! That’s one advantage of being so hooked on Wapiti that you’re prepared go as a general dogs body without a rifle and do no shooting – you can join any party that will have you!
