And the lucky prize draw winner for the 2008 Sika show sponsored by Amuri Helicopters to the value of $2,100.00 helicopter chamio trip goes to Trevor Smith – wow, what an awesome prize.I won the prize on a Sunday & contacted Tony Michelle (director of Amuri Helicopters) the following day to thank him for the wonderful prize he had kindly sponsored & to book my dates which happened to be for the 26th May 09 fly in – to the 5th June 09 fly out solely to target a good chamio buck during their rut. I asked him what other animals were there to hunt in our block & Tony replied – good red deer & plenty of pigs.
After booking & confirming dates along with a few other questions relating to the hut in general & the overall landscape we would be hunting, I then touched base with three of me mates to see if they were keen to join me on this hunting trip & without any hesitation – they were all in.
